“MEDICATION ADHERENCE: WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH THE MEDICAL CHALLENGE THAT STARTS AFTER THE CONSULTATION?”

We are excited to share with you highlights from this first Global Congress on medication adherence and behavioral science, which took place on October 20^th and 21^st. Abbott is addressing the widespread issue of non-adherence with a:care, a non-promotional connected health ecosystem that leverages behavioral science with digital tools to help transform the relationship between the physician and the patient. a:care is currently endorsed by international and national medical societies and supported by leading voices in the medical community. 

As part of this effort to tackle non-adherence, Abbott organized this Congress, which raised interested to more than 25,000 healthcare professionals from around the world to connect to the event and about 10,000 participated in the live sessions . The Congress was chaired by Prof. John Weinman of King’s College, London, who is commonly recognized as a founder of modern health psychology, and welcomed renowned experts in behavioral science and communication, as well as world-class professors of medicine across therapeutic areas, to share their perspectives, experiences and patient insights about adherence and behavioral science.
