Medication non-adherence causes 125,000 deaths and nearly 10% of hospitalizations in the United States every year. Most of those are preventable. And the solution may be simpler — and more personal — than you think.
In this episode, John Webb — medical social worker and founder of Medication Call Reminder — explores why automated medication reminders consistently fail aging adults, and why a family member's voice succeeds where technology alone cannot. Drawing on clinical evidence and 20 years of care coordination experience, John explains the science of familiar voices and behavioral compliance — and what your family can do about it today.
