"Life science companies seeking further advances toward a truly patient-centric future should consider working with an external partner that has extensive experience and a reliable, transparent and proven information portfolio. Leveraging core data linked and integrated with data generated by patients, and providing access to novel, on-demand data sources through a network of curated data partners provides enriched data that goes beyond the patient experience with a particular brand. By understanding the full details of the patient journey, optimal engagement of patients and HCPs can be enabled, thereby delivering the right treatment to the right patient, supporting adoption and adherence and achieving the ultimate goal of patient-centricity."

"Autoimmune diseases are complex. Advancing treatments doesn't have to be. From your very first symptom to your eventual diagnosis and treatment, your unique autoimmune journey has accumulated valuable data that tells a story that could lead to better treatments. Unfortunately, this story is trapped in various health systems and sits there, unused. As the patient, you have the power to unlock this data. With your permission, DrugViu will find and consolidate all your medical records and return them back to you on your own secure portal, for free. There, you'll have a holistic view of your entire health history, while also having the power to share your records with current and future medical providers. You'll also have the option of contributing your de-identified and anonymized data to scientists and doctors working to find better treatments and improve the diagnosing process. Together, we will power tomorrow's cures."

Christina P. Kantzavelos: "I created this journal because it didn't exist. I was couch-bound due to #lymedisease and a plethora of other diagnoses and symptoms and needed a way to track my physical and mental symptoms, document my nutrition, meds/supplements, challenges, successes, while focusing on self-love, gratitude and visualizations. I needed a way to see the light at the end of the tunnel. "
