Many pharma companies have found a better path is choosing a partner skilled in creating and delivering mHealth solutions. Sticking to one’s core competencies (drug research & commercial selling) while bringing in mHealth experts to provide solutions for your various brands allows for faster time to market and familiarity in navigating med/legal/regulatory/IP. Plus some companies like WellDoc (where I work) specialize in full behavioral based adherence programs that can go beyond just an “app” and can deploy across web and most phones (not just iPhone, and not even just smartphones) – providing access for all patients. So, when going down this path… one may ask, “Should I reinvent the wheel? Or just order one that specifically suites my needs and comes with an experienced team?”
