# What will AGI do for Chronic Treatment Adherence?

## Overview

Care managers and primary care providers prescribe complex regimens for chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension, but lose all visibility once the patient leaves the clinic. Between quarterly visits, adherence drops rapidly as patients struggle with side effects, schedule changes, or dosage confusion. The clinician only discovers this non-adherence months later when a routine lab test shows deteriorating biomarkers, or when the patient lands in the emergency department.

Current interventions rely on passive, context-blind systems like automated SMS reminders or smart pillboxes. These tools trigger at fixed intervals without accounting for the patient's immediate reality, leading to alert fatigue and eventual abandonment. They also fail to capture the qualitative reasons behind missed doses, such as high out-of-pocket costs or unexpected nausea, leaving care teams without the data needed to modify the prescription.

The fundamental bottleneck is human bandwidth in the clinic. Care teams cannot physically monitor or message hundreds of high-risk patients daily to troubleshoot adherence obstacles in real time. This forces a reactive care model where interventions only occur after the patient's condition degrades, driving up acute care costs for payers and increasing physician workload.
