The goal is to improve patient adherence during the “onboarding” process by showing them ways to self-administer new therapies without the supervision of a health care provider.
Philosopher Lao Tzu said, “The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.”
The venerable quote may well apply to a patient beginning a new medication regimen. Noble, a patient-centric product development company for pharmaceutical firms and original equipment providers, uses a term called “onboarding” to describe the first 30, 60, or 90 days in which a patient is learning to use and adhere to treatments requiring advanced drug delivery devices.
