There’s been so much traditional push-back around personal patient information and visibility of information from a privacy point of view that I think we’ve painted ourselves into a corner in respect of thinking patient back in the supply chain.
There’s a vast field of analytics starting to explore what’s driving people’s behavior. Why are patients choosing the products they are? How are patients responding to the products that they are using?
And that allows us to get rid of these hundreds of days of inventory that we stuck everywhere in the supply chain just in case we needed to orchestrate an outcome for a patient.
