Problem
Many patient support programs still rely on periodic phone calls, paper forms, and spreadsheets shared via email, making support episodic and leaving patients isolated between contacts. Adherence is measured late and by sample, caregivers remain outside the workflow, and reporting to medical and management teams requires days of manual work, with program growth multiplying operational costs instead of absorbing them.
Solution
Salus AI designs and develops complete digital health ecosystems that transform clinical needs into software, AI, and connected devices. The company builds patient support program platforms that include guided patient onboarding with tracked digital consents, personalized medication reminders, and adherence detection through connected devices like the Salus MedBox IoT smart pillbox. A dedicated caregiver interface provides remote visibility into patient progress and alerts on missed doses, while internal dashboards offer operational views of active patients, adherence metrics, and attention signals. The platform collects structured data from day one and generates exportable reports for medical, marketing, and management teams, with a GDPR-ready architecture, end-to-end encryption, and role-based access controls.
Target Audience
Primary customers are pharmaceutical companies and healthcare providers that run or are designing patient support programs and need a continuous, measurable, and scalable digital platform to improve medication adherence and patient engagement.
