MediTeddi® for Chronic Medication Adherence Management

A simple, human-centered solution to one of health care’s biggest problems: medication nonadherence.

Medication nonadherence affects roughly half of patients with chronic disease and is a major driver of preventable hospitalizations, morbidity, mortality, and rising costs. MediTeddi® was created by a practicing physician to address this problem in a way that patients accept—and use.

What Is MediTeddi?

MediTeddi is a talking, interactive bear that checks in with patients once or twice daily to ask whether they have taken their medications. Patient responses are stored and can be reviewed by the patient, family members, and the care team.

  • No apps, portals, or passwords

  • No programming or technical setup

  • Rechargeable and easy to use

  • Available in English and Spanish

Patients simply turn MediTeddi on at the time of their first daily dose, and it takes it from there.

Why MediTeddi Works

MediTeddi succeeds where many digital tools fail because it is personal, tangible, and nonthreatening.

  • Provides positive reinforcement every day

  • Becomes part of the patient’s routine and household

  • Removes reliance on memory alone

  • Supports key motivational drivers: connection, competence, and control

  • Produces objective adherence data rather than assumptions

This approach is especially effective for older adults and highrisk patients who struggle with complex regimens or technology fatigue.

Proven Clinical Impact

In a physicianled study of patients with poorly controlled diabetes, use of MediTeddi was associated with statistically significant improvements in key outcomes:

  • Improved HbA1c

  • Improved blood pressure

  • Improved depression screening scores

  • Significant improvement in medication adherence scores

These changes translate directly into reduced complications, fewer hospitalizations, and better quality of life.

Integrates Easily With Chronic Care Management

MediTeddi integrates naturally into CCM workflows:

  • Supports regular, brief checkins with highrisk patients

  • Enhances coaching conversations with real adherence data

  • Helps improve outcomes tied to HEDIS and quality measures

  • Reinforces continuity between monthly CCM contacts

Increased adherence is consistently associated with lower admission and readmission rates.

Strong Business Case for CCM Programs

  • Onetime MediTeddi cost: $75 per patient

  • No subscriptions or recurring device fees

  • Supports documented CCM time through regular adherence engagement

  • Improves quality metrics and patient satisfaction

  • Creates a clear competitive differentiator for CCM organizations

Adherence is not just good medicine—it is good business.
