Eversana teams up with UpScriptHealth on digital tool to speed up therapy access

Eversana is partnering with virtual prescribing platform UpScriptHealth to create a "direct-to-patient" solution aimed at accelerating therapy access, affordability and adherence, the companies announced.

"Many patients struggle to get the care they need due to a fragmented approach to telehealth, patient engagement and virtual prescribing," commented Eversana chief Jim Lang, who says the partnership will give rise to a "digital solution that will simplify the process for patients and their caregivers and provide faster access to treatments at the lowest possible cost."

According to the companies, the end-to-end solution will be designed to guide patients via a seamless, online experience to determine if they qualify for a given treatment. It would also permit them to receive a prescription, navigate benefits and have medications dispensed to their homes through a single platform while receiving patient support services as needed.

The solution combines UpScriptHealth's telehealth and virtual prescribing technology with Eversana's commercialisation services, including data and analytics, digital engagement, patient support, adherence services, specialty pharmacy, dispensing and shipping. Peter Ax, chief executive at UpScriptHealth, suggested that linking the two companies' respective areas of expertise "will lead to a new wave of adoption of direct-to-patient models in the pharmaceutical industry."
