Achieving genuine human connection is a crucial part of survival. We all want to feel seen and heard, whether it’s on a casual level during a conversation about work, or on a humorous level exchanging the adventures of parenting, or at the very deep level of discussing and sharing mental health challenges. When it comes down to it, we want to be understood and supported, not necessarily by everyone we know but by the people who matter to us most. We want – we need – empathy. And when it comes to health, and managing the healthcare journey, this concept is no different.
Patient support for these populations can greatly impact their overall well-being and willingness to adhere to prescribed therapies, but is also critical to alleviating the inherent anxiety accompanying the diagnosis and treatment journey in rare disease. To help ensure an optimum experience, the best patient support programs will address these concerns by blending the empathy of human connection with the scale of technology.
More than 90 percent of rare diseases have no FDA-approved treatment, and it can take seven to eight years just to get diagnosed. It’s a zero-sum game for marketers because we’re walking onto an empty field full of people desperate for someone to join their team. We have the opportunity to make a substantial impact in the small towns of rare disease.
