So....
How are people supposed
to follow instructions they
don’t understand?
THE PROBLEM
While there are many monitoring products and patient engagement portals in the market, they all seem to ignore the need for audio and language customization.
They do not seem to address the fact that patients are a diverse group of people that include elderly, disabled, foreign language readers and people with low literacy. Health literacy in the United States is a widespread problem that affects more than 1/3 of the adult population.
In fact, 130 million adults in the US cannot read well enough to understand basic health information (White 2008). Health literacy is even worse in the older adult population especially if they are suffering with various states of Dementia or Alzheimer’s. If the patient or their caregiver is unable to understand healthcare instructions and medication information, it’s likely that dire mistakes will be made that affect the patient’s health and well-being.
CHRONIC DISEASE PATIENTS
People with limited health literacy skills
are more likely to have chronic conditions and
are less able to manage them effectively
