Help Patients Take Medicines on Time

Dose reminders and adherence follow-ups that improve treatment outcomes and patient trust.

The Challenge

Why patients stop medicines after leaving the clinic

  • 40-50% of patients do not complete prescribed medication courses.
  • Doctors have no visibility into whether patients are adherent between visits.
  • Poor adherence leads to treatment failure and unnecessary follow-up visits.
The Solution

Automated dose reminders via WhatsApp and SMS

When a prescription is issued, Opdio schedules dose reminders matching the prescribed frequency. Patients receive timely nudges — improving adherence and treatment outcomes.
