Patient Compliance and Medication Management for Digital Therapeutics (DTx)
Medication do's and don'ts are overwhelming
You have to take this medicine three times a day within a 30-minute window. You can't eat green leafy vegetables with that medication. You'll likely die if you miss a single dose of that other medication you take. It's not just the one medication that patients take that makes it hard for them to comply with their doctor's instructions; it's the management of multiple drugs and the fast pace that doctors share treatment information that reduces success rates.
The current approach is daunting
- Patients get instructions verbally within a few minutes of diagnosis
- Written instructions are hard to follow and lack illustrations
- Visual learners don’t absorb written informational content
- Taking multiple medications is hard to manage
- Dietary restrictions can be easy to forget
Medication compliance and management framework
Configure Mahlo's building blocks to manage one or multiple medications and common problems with adherence.

Pill tracking tools remind patients when to take their medication and ensure they take the correct dosages.
