TEL AVIV, Israel, MUNHALL, Pennsylvania and WESTBURY, New York, Feb. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --  Vaica Medical, STAAR Alert and RXVIP Concierge are teaming up to offer patients across the United States the most comprehensive, in-home, medication adherence and safety management program on the market today. The joint initiative is intended to help solve the multi-billion dollar cost crisis caused by the lack of medication adherence challenging the US healthcare system.

As a result of this joint initiative, patients, caregivers and medical professionals now have access to the best in personalized medication therapy, adherence and safety management via individualized:

• Pharmacogenetic (PGx) Testing
• Chronic Care Management (CCM)
• Wellness Prescription Check-Ups (WPC)
• Cloud Based In-Home Medication Dosing Notifications
• Cloud Based, In-Home, 24/7 Medication Adherence Monitoring with Live Dosing Reminders
• Cloud Based In-Home Reporting of Evidence-Based User Engagement and Adherence

"We are excited to expand our in-home medication adherence monitoring services and technology with Vaica, and pharmacist-based genomic testing provider, RXVIP, to address medication errors, adverse drug reactions and non-adherence for our clients. Medication non-adherence is a leading cause of (re)admission to long-term care facilities and hospitals as well as an unnecessary, multi-billion burden to payers and our health system," said STAAR Alert's Director of Medication Management Solutions Mr. Mark Drummey.

RXVIP Concierge Founder Mr. Ken Sternfeld said, "This strategic marketing initiative with STAAR and Vaica, perfectly aligns with our personalized, patient-centric approach to our corporate culture. Being able to work with a digital medtech leader like Vaica plus a service and monitoring expert like STAAR will help RXVIP in its mission to increase adherence to medications that enhance patient outcomes. This alliance is what we strive for as Concierge Pharmacists, so we are grateful for the opportunity to be part of this great team."

"Follow instructions. It seems like an easy request. And yet, for a variety of understandable reasons, it is a difficult one for many chronic patients to honor when it comes to taking their medications. We are pleased to work in concert with industry leaders STAAR and RXVIP to make a real and measurable difference in the quest to improve medication adherence, help patients get better sooner, and forward to care givers, medical teams and pharmacy all the benefits that come with that," said Vaica Medical CEO Mr. Tomer Gofer.

It was also announced today that STAAR's Life Safety Monitoring Center, has received a TMA (The Monitoring Association) Five Diamond Monitoring Center Designation. This designation is granted annually to monitoring centers that satisfy all of the requirements of the five points of excellence.
