Medication non-adherence is a leading contributor to disease progression and lost pharmaceutical revenue. Intentional non-adherence primarily stems from poor patient education, side effects, stress, and anxiety. Our digital audio companion educates, comforts, and inspires cancer patients and caregivers through an iPhone app to improve treatment adherence. Our content library of over 2,000 audio recordings created in conjunction with clinicians provides motivation, education, meditation, exercise, and patient stories. High patient engagement enables the collection of rich, de-identified insights. In Phase I and II oncology trials, 30 days of use by patients improved medication adherence by 40% and quality of life by 15%. Life science companies are using our platform at various stages of their drug lifecycle to track patient demographics, level of symptom burden, and therapy drop-off, yielding insights to enhance adherence. We currently support 50 chronic conditions for over 12,000 global patients. We are expanding our content libraries to additional conditions, integrating with wearables, and launching conversational AI experiences for our users.

Chronic diseases are the leading cause of death & disability in the US and is a growing health crisis. 53.8% of American learners have chronic diseases and experience several barriers in terms of participation, performance, psychological symptoms and worse relationships with educators and peers.

Our iPhone app Elly delivers smart audio content to comfort, educate and support chronic disease patients. Users gain access to content on motivation, meditation, exercise videos, clinician classes and patient stories to improve their health-seeking behaviors and track their experiences. Elly has over 12K users and has been shown in clinical studies to increase treatment adherence by 40% and quality of life by 15% in just 30 days.
We wish to be the first enabled app to provide companionship content experiences through natural language and dialogue for chronic disease patients. Elly plans to produce a conversational AI product that includes a ‘Companion Intelligence’ feature for users. This will help Elly promote:
