7th March, 2024

Digital technologies have brought in a new wave of innovation to healthcare, transforming the way in which patients access medical services, professionals deliver care, and organizations operate.  

As a pioneer in access to healthcare solutions for over 25 years, Axios International has embraced this transformative wave through Axios+, a comprehensive and integrated digital health ecosystem committed to providing digital accessibility while maintaining a human approach.  

Leveraging data to empower decision-making

Axios+ is more than just a technological advancement. Axios+ enables pharmacists, doctors, laboratories, and various other entities to make quality healthcare accessible to patients, regardless of their location or economic status, and supports patients throughout their treatment journey.  

Interconnectivity is key to providing multi-dimensional support to patients and has proven to have multiple operational benefits for patients and all the parties involved. So, from simplifying the support program introduction of patients for physicians to aiding pharmaceutical companies in monitoring, Axios+ positions itself as an integrated patient-centric technology.

Axios+ already makes it easier for patients to schedule deliveries, contact our program teams, and report adverse events. As an organization, Axios plans to adopt Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the near future, which will improve productivity and efficiency, smoothen operations, and ultimately improve the handling of patient services.  

For example, AI algorithms can analyze large datasets to identify patterns and trends, aiding disease prevention and early diagnosis, allowing us to collect, view, understand, and process data to make better-informed decisions. Additionally, by utilizing AI tools alongside our Patient Management System, we can further improve data accuracy and consistency, eventually leading to enhanced personalization of our digital tools and predictive models.  

Empowering and enabling patients to receive quality care and treatment

One standout area of the Axios + ecosystem is the MyHealth app, which serves to empower patients. Specifically designed for patients, it sends timely medication reminders, assists in obtaining required medications, and streamlines the entire patient support experience through automated processes. This maximizes treatment adherence and contributes to patients’ overall well-being. As a result, Axios+ patients are better equipped to take control of their treatment by ensuring they have easy access to relevant and timely information. 

At the core of the system is MyHealth, which provides a very practical approach that ensures patients stay on treatment. However, there is still space for AI in this instance without losing the human touch. But that’s just one arm of Axios +, so what does the full ecosystem entail?

  • MyHealth for Patients
    Available on mobile, the MyHealth application gives patients a robust platform to track their treatment regimens and adhere to treatment plans easily. Accessing in-app functionalities, such as viewing medical releases and uploading relevant documents for a comprehensive treatment history, becomes available to patients once they are enrolled in the programs managed by Axios International. They can also view upcoming medical releases and easily obtain their medication from a partnered pharmacy.  

  • MyPharmacy for Pharmacists

The application enables pharmacists to schedule the release of upcoming prescriptions for each patient and validate any documents they receive using an integrated QR code scanner or security code. In addition to addressing the core needs of patients, doctors, and pharmacists, Axios+ has features that contribute to the overall success of treatment programs.  

  • MyPrograms Dashboard
    Available on desktop, The MyPrograms dashboard allows pharmaceutical companies that are part of the PSPs to view live data on their treatment successes and failures. It simplifies and combines data related to the program to provide a comprehensive overview of up-to-date aggregated and anonymized data. They can view the number of patients by status in the program, track the number of physicians or hospitals referring patients to the program, and view product distribution by commercial type or the number of units.   

  • MyCharity feature
    Available on desktop, MyCharity is a simplified platform that allows charities to track and manage patient charity applications associated with Axios-managed PSPs, fostering a collaborative approach to healthcare. The platform’s success lies in its technological prowess and commitment to a patient-centric approach, creating a more informed, accurate, and accessible foundation for developing, improving, and administering treatments.
