ImpactMonitor and its significance for future treatment management

As a platform provider for generating real-world evidence (RWE) and monitoring therapeutic effectiveness and safety, we connect patients, medical professionals and pharmaceutical manufacturers via our modern communication infrastructure. Our goal is to collect information about drug effectiveness and safety in real time from real care and then make it available.

In doing so, we use standardized measurement instruments, so-called Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROM), to record user experiences. With the development of ImpactMonitor, life science companies can now make use of our simple, digital and efficient web application to launch new therapies.

What is the ImpactMonitor used for?

With ImpactMonitor, we offer pharmaceutical companies the opportunity to gain data-driven insights into the drug effectiveness and safety of their pharmaceuticals. This is particularly useful for drugs that have received conditional market approval and must therefore be monitored — during use. With the simple, cost-effective and flexibly scalable ImpactMonitor, such data collection and analysis is possible.

For optimal treatment and drug monitoring, standardized and scientifically developed measurement instruments can be used regularly to record patient experiences (PROM). These can be easily implemented via the ImpactMonitor, broadcast to thousands to millions of users and evaluated. Any new side effects can also be reported immediately and communicated to affected persons in a very short time.

Using ImpactMonitor is extremely easy:

As soon as a patient is prescribed a new medication or therapy, he is informed by the doctor about the possibility of collecting data during the use. Using a QR code or even directly entering the website link, the patient can register for the program online and immediately enjoy all the benefits.

The ImpactMonitor ultimately functions as a reliable, digital companion for patients and comprises the following 4 main functions.

1. Dosage and Intake

The ImpactMonitor gives patients the opportunity to obtain information on individual medication intake and dosage at a glance. These are specified directly by the manufacturer or medical experts. Depending on the medication and person, the recommended dosage and intake sometimes differs. As a kind of “digital package leaflet”, the patient now has all important information directly at hand.

2. Push notifications for maximum security

If new, unknown side effects occur, pharmaceutical manufacturers must act as quickly as possible. If such side effects become known, the ImpactMonitor notifies other patients via push notifications. This makes an effective contribution to general patient safety. Such an approach not only builds trust between patients and pharmaceutical manufacturers, but also contributes to treatment adherence.

3. Real-world evidence

During therapy, patients can view the treatment progress of other patients and compare their own compatibility profile with them. Under the heading of “relative expectation management,” patients are optimally prepared for treatment by transparently presenting compatibility profiles and thus promoting adherence to medication intake.

4. Online Support

In addition to tracking drug effectiveness, the ImpactMonitor also represents a multilateral communication infrastructure. Patients can communicate directly with doctors or pharmaceutical manufacturers. For minor concerns, patients can also contact our experts. Sometimes quick answers are enough to significantly increase patient satisfaction.

Conclusion for using ImpactMonitor

Effective drug monitoring requires not only extensive communication between all medical professionals but also the involvement of patients. No one can provide more valid data from the real world than the patient himself. The ImpactMonitor combines these features in a unique platform solution.

‍

Real-world evidence generation

→ With PROM, data from the real world is collected in a structured way and immediately evaluated.

Direct patient support

→ By involving medical professionals, patients get quick answers to their questions. An interface to telemedicine services is also possible.

Relative expectation management

→ With RWE, the patient knows in advance which (side) effects are to be expected, which is why significantly higher adherence when taking medication is to be expected.

Opportunities for precision medicine

→ By evaluating thousands of treatment reports, the ImpactMonitor can generate information and treatment recommendations for specific patient groups. As a result, the therapeutic process can be interacted in a much more specific way and thus make a major contribution to precision medicine.
