What We Do
We use data to understand what specialty drugs do at the individual, not population level. Our specialty drug management product, VIVIO Precision Care™ fixes big unsolved healthcare problems: expensive drug therapies that don’t work; lack of real-world effectiveness; doctors prescribing based on opinion and experience instead of data; the arbitrary line between pharmacy drug and medical benefit; and, egregious supply chain waste. We replace the current pharma-centric therapeutic model with our data-centric one and drive better patient outcomes without overpaying. Employees and physicians have access to the right drugs based on individual data rather than self-serving policies. Typically, we save large and mid-sized self-insured employers 25-35% of their current spend.
