Improve medication adherence
emocha improves medication adherence using video technology and human engagement. We leverage a CDC-endorsed model called Directly Observed Therapy (DOT) where healthcare workers watch patients take every dose of medication, monitor side effects, and provide critical support.
Radically Improve Medication Adherence
Payers
Increase adherence to maximize HEDIS/STAR quality and reimbursement measures, support value-based arrangements, and lower costs.
Researchers
Leverage novel technology to glean dose-by-dose insights across a diverse ecosystem of academic research.
Clinical Trials
Secure adherence to accurately assess benefits and harms of a medication and reduce trial attrition and timeline slippage.
Public Health Departments
Complement in-person Directly Observed Therapy and relieve burdens for patients and tuberculosis programs.
Clinically validated technology
Directly Observed Therapy (DOT) is the most effective way to ensure medication adherence.1 By digitizing the process with video DOT, emocha has made this practice more accessible and scalable. Public health departments and academic medical centers have evaluated emocha with support from the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities, the National Institute on Drug Abuse, and the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute.

Improve health outcomes and reduce costs
Measures such as medication possession ratios do not account for actual nonadherence. emocha identifies costly members with high possession but low dose-by-dose adherence. Improving dose-by-dose medication adherence can help patients achieve improved clinical outcomes and help plans meet quality measure targets while reducing costs.
Improve medication adherence and patient communication
emocha is an tool for providers to efficiently communicate with patients, assess their condition remotely, and support them throughout treatment. Use emocha for a daily video check-in with patients to manage medications and prevent costly health consequences. Providers can receive Medicare reimbursement for reviewing recorded videos sent by their patients.
