wellthy CARE™ – A Digital Health Intervention Platform for Pain Management and Remote Monitoring in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients
Unbridged Care Gaps in Treatment with Traditional therapeutics–
- Growing Unmet Needs in Patients in RA
- Despite the therapeutic advances for patients with RA, poor physical functioning, pain, comorbidity, depression, and anxiety remain persistent problems.1
- Due to the lengthy nature of the treatment cycle, adherence to the treatment often becomes an issue leading to patients experimenting with different therapy options.
- Rising Healthcare Burden:
- With nearly 2.3 million individuals diagnosed with RA in Europe each year, annual direct and indirect management costs are estimated to be around €45 billion.2
- 10% of RA patients use healthcare resources same as the remaining 90%, attributed to comorbidities and higher levels of chronic pain.3
- Growing Dissatisfaction with Current Line of Treatment:
- 74% of patients with RA reported dissatisfaction with their treatment plans, and that their disease symptoms persisted despite active treatment with DMARDs.4
- Nearly half of all the patients with RA would like more information and input in their treatment decisions.5
