Quote
  "We need to be thinking less about providers verifying benefits and instead, empowering patients to do this on their own via a secure mobile app. We need to think less about email newsletters encouraging healthier diets and 10,000 steps and more about targeted health outcomes in incentivized digital platforms. We need to stop thinking healthcare is an exception to every other B2C industry and start realizing it's the most important one. We should be leading the way, not lagging. We should have more advanced ways to stay healthy than we do for buying shoes or hailing cabs. We don't yet."

-Amanda Havard, Chief Innovation Officer, Health: ELT, Nashville, Tenn

Excerpted from: Healthcare Innovation News, Volume 2, Issue 4, April 2015, "An End to Non-Adherence: Engaging Patients Through Mobile Health Technologies" by Stuart Sowder, PharmD, J.D, MBA
