A New England health technology industry veteran has started a patient coaching software company.
HealthPrize Technologies L.L.C., Norwalk, Conn., will be marketing Web-based systems that can track patient prescriptions, verify whether patients are refilling prescriptions appropriately, educate patients about the need to take their prescriptions, and give patients incentives to comply with their doctors' medical advice.
The incentive programs will include point-based compliance reward systems and chances to win sweepstakes and monthly competitions.
