Human beings have made a name for themselves on the back of many different qualities, and yet none contributed more to that than our quality of getting better at a consistent clip. This progressive approach, on our part, has already got the world to hit upon some huge milestones, with technology appearing as a major member of the stated group. The reason why we hold technology in such a high regard is, by and large, predicated upon its skill-set, which ushered us towards a reality that nobody could have ever imagined otherwise. Nevertheless, if we look up close for a second, it will become clear how the whole runner was also very much inspired from the way we applied those skills across a real world environment. The latter component was, in fact, what gave the creation a spectrum-wide presence, and consequentially, kickstarted a tech revolution. Of course, this revolution then went on to scale up the human experience through some outright unique avenues, but even after achieving such a monumental feat, technology will somehow continue to produce the right goods. The same has grown increasingly evident over the recent past, and assuming one new healthcare-themed development shakes out just like we envision, it will only make that trend bigger and better moving forward.
Eli Lily has officially announced the launch of its new digital healthcare experience called LillyDirect, which is designed for US residents living with obesity, migraine and diabetes. According to certain reports, LillyDirect comes decked up with the means to offer comprehensive disease management resources, including access to independent healthcare providers, tailored support, and direct home delivery of select Lilly medicines through third-party pharmacy dispensing services. Talk about these resources on a slightly deeper level, we can begin from Lily Direct Pharmacy solutions. This feature basically translates to a digital pharmacy for select Lilly medicines powered through third party online pharmacy fulfillment services. In practice, LillyDirect Pharmacy Solutions gives patients a simple option to get consistent access to all the medicines they have been prescribed by their doctor, and it complements the same with a hassle-free feature of home delivery. Another incentives to use Lily’s platform for availing your medicines would be how it will also hand you an uninterrupted access of the healthcare giant’s affordability solutions and savings card opportunities, both expected to be automatically applied to patients who are found as eligible. In case that wasn’t enough, medicines delivered through LillyDirect Pharmacy Solutions will bear no delivery charges whatsoever. Next up, we must get into Lily’s pledge to use its latest brainchild for the purpose of educating patients. Here, the idea is to provide disease-specific and wider healthcare educational information to help patients take better decisions, as they try and navigate through their care journeys. Then, we have the prospect of gaining access to independent telehealth providers. This particular aspect can either be presented like a support for a patient’s current primary care team, or it can also be an alternative against in-person care under certain conditions. Rounding up the highlights is a cutting-edge search tool, which allows a patient to find the relevant healthcare professionals near their location, if they prefer in-person care.
“A complex U.S. healthcare system adds to the burdens patients face when managing a chronic disease. With LillyDirect, our goal is to relieve some of those burdens by simplifying the patient experience to help improve outcomes,” said David A. Ricks, chair and CEO of Eli Lily. “LillyDirect offers more choices in how and where people access healthcare, including a convenient home delivery option to fill Lilly medicines they have been prescribed.”
Founded almost 150 years ago, Eli Lily has today reached a point where it is using advancements in biotechnology, chemistry and genetic medicine, to solve some of healthcare’s biggest challenges attached with diabetes, obesity, Alzheimer’s disease, immune system disorders, cancer, and so much more. The company’s excellence in this pursuit can be understood once you look at how it is, on its own, serving more than 51 million people worldwide.
“We know that people have come to depend on the efficiency and convenience of digital solutions to meet a variety of their everyday needs – healthcare being one of them,” said Frank Cunningham, group vice president of global value and access at Eli Lilly. “We launched LillyDirect with the hope that it will offer patients an innovative end-to-end experience to manage their health and access their medicines, so they can get back to living their lives.”
