Scene Health

At Scene Health, the primary focus is on the significant, yet often overlooked, challenge of medication nonadherence. Many patients struggle to take their medication as prescribed, a problem that leads to poor health outcomes and contributes to an estimated $500 billion in avoidable healthcare costs in the U.S. annually. Scene Health addresses this by going beyond simple reminders, understanding that nonadherence is a complex issue with various root causes. The company provides a supportive, human-centric program designed to help patients manage their chronic and infectious diseases effectively. By combining personalized video coaching, educational resources, and motivational content, Scene Health fosters a collaborative environment where healthcare professionals, patients, and their families can work together towards better health.

The core of Scene Health's innovative approach is its 360° model of care, which enhances the gold standard of medication adherence, Directly Observed Therapy (DOT). Through a user-friendly mobile application, patients can connect with a dedicated care team of pharmacists, nurses, and health coaches via daily video check-ins. This consistent, personal interaction allows the care team to build strong relationships with patients, identify and address barriers to adherence—many of which are related to social determinants of health—and provide real-time support. This method not only ensures that patients take their medication correctly but also empowers them with the knowledge and confidence to take control of their health journey. Scene Health's programs have been validated by numerous peer-reviewed studies, demonstrating significant improvements in medication adherence, better health outcomes, and reduced healthcare costs for partners, which include health plans, public health departments, and life science organizations.
