Ayuda Health is a health tech company developing solutions for people living with chronic diseases. Our solutions aim to support medication adherence and lifestyle modifications, and to improve quality of life overall.

Approximately 45% of US adults live with 2 or more chronic diseases, and between 25-50% of patients are adherent to their medications. Previous studies have shown that a 10% improvement in medication adherence leads to similar magnitude reductions in hospitalizations and mortality, and 67% of patients want personalized support to manage their chronic conditions.

From a personal standpoint, Marsha helped her father (who lives with type 2 diabetes) achieve glycemic control via 15-minute conversations, where he received personalized support with his blood sugar monitoring, diet and lifestyle. The need for ongoing, culturally-sensitive, personalized support for chronic disease management became apparent.  

Ayuda Health's first release is a self-management application which allows users to obtain medication reminders according to their personalized schedule, keep an e-diary of readings and voice recorded symptoms/side effects, and to report their progress to their caregivers and healthcare professionals. Patients will also be able to access evidence-based resources to support lifestyle modifications and incentives to encourage persistence on their current disease management plan.
