🤸‍♀️ Patient Engagement & AdherenceMarketing

Non-adherence to physiotherapy plans, reaching as high as 80%, leads to poorer functional outcomes, higher risk of re-injury, longer time off work or sport, greater healthcare costs, and even psychosocial impacts like anxiety and depression, making patient engagement and adherence critical for recovery success.

Have you ever been ghosted by a patient?

Studies have found that non-adherence to physiotherapy treatment plans can be as high as 80%.

Why does this matter?

Drop-out from a physio treatment plan can significantly hinder recovery and increase the risk of relapse.

Check out some of these stats:

  • Increased Risk of Recurrence and Chronic Pain
  • Poorer Functional Outcomes
  • Delayed Return to Work and Sports
  • Higher Healthcare Costs
  • Psychosocial and Mental Health Impact

    • At Preve, we are redefining what patient engagement looks like.

    AI can now do the heavy lifting when it comes to inter-appointment motivation and adherence.

    And the result? Getting more patients to the recovery finish line is finally a reality.
