In my role as a founder of KEEP, I’m deeply committed to understanding our users on a profound level. Beyond the confines of boardroom discussions and data analytics, I take the time each week to engage in candid conversations with a minimum of ten patients. These discussions, often scheduled outside regular business hours to accommodate their routines, provide invaluable insights into their stories, the role of medication in their lives, and the challenges they face in managing their health conditions.
After connecting with over 100 users in recent months, a vivid picture emerges: KEEP isn’t just a product to them; it’s a lifeline. It’s not merely about the hardware or software; it’s about how these elements come together to actively intervene and elevate patient care.
But why does this matter to pharma?
Here are the Top 5 themes that have emerged:
1. The Patient Voice Matters
- What our patients shared: "I used to feel alone in my medication journey, but with KEEP, I feel supported," shared one patient. This sentiment is echoed by many, emphasizing the importance of feeling connected and understood.
- Significance for Pharma Partners: Direct patient feedback provides invaluable insights into medication adherence challenges and the role of support systems.
- KEEP Data Spotlight: Users average >2.5 Daily Active Uses of KEEP, consistently over a five + month period, indicating high engagement and trust in the product.
2. Enhancing Adherence Through User-Centric Design
- What our patients shared: "Managing my medications used to be a daily struggle. KEEP has made it so much simpler," remaked a user who has juggled multiple medications for years and tried many solutions that required changes in behavior.
- Significance for Pharma Partners: The complexity of managing multiple medications can be daunting. KEEP's patented design simplifies this journey. Instead of asking patients to change HOW they take their medications, we simply ask them to change where they STORE them. This allows us to focus on providing an experience where technology helps drive behavior changes.
- KEEP Data Spotlight: >90% adherence rate with over 50,000 dosing events passively logged, emphasizing our system's efficacy.
