Advocate Health Care to team up with pharmaceutical companies in patient-provider tech study

Advocate Health Care announced a collaboration with Takeda Pharmaceuticals and Lundbeck U.S. focusing on the use of digital technology to support people with depression.

"Patient Management of Depression through Technology: A Study of Digitally Enabled Management" will assess the effectiveness and feasibility of the Advocate Pathway App, a mobile health app designed to improve patient-provider engagement for patients with major depressive disorder.

"We are enthusiastic about providing a technology solution that directly addresses existing gaps in patient-clinician engagement, as well as responds to the growing needs impacting chronic disease management," said David Kemp, MD, study principal investigator and medical director of the behavioral health service line Advocate Health Care. 

Patient-provider engagement will be assessed through methods that measure patient engagement in disease self-management in the primary care setting and patient-provider communication.
