Increasing patient empowerment improves adherence, quality of life and reduces costs in health care. That’s why we implement personalized empowerment programs that make people with chronic diseases active participants in their own health.
What is empowerment of people with pathology
Empowerment of patients is the process of making them active and informed actors in managing their own health.
The goal of empowerment is to help people living with a chronic illness gain the knowledge, skills, and awareness they need to make informed decisions about their health and manage symptoms and treatments effectively.
The benefits of empowerment
Patient empowerment benefits not only individuals, but is a strategic investment in the future of health care, with positive spillovers for your company and all stakeholders in the health care system. The empowerment process:
Improves therapeutic compliance
Informed and involved patients are more likely to follow the treatment plan correctly, resulting in better health outcomes.
Reduces health care costs
Better management of chronic diseases by patients means less pressure on the health care system.
Increases quality of life
Empowerment enables patients to better manage their disease and live more independent and fulfilling lives.

One example: empowerment of people with multiple myeloma
We opened a discussion table on the needs of people with multiple myeloma between patient organizations (AIL Nazionale, La Lampada di Aladino ETS and Fondazione Quattropani) and professionals experienced in the treatment of the disease to identify concrete solutions to make patients more informed and effective in managing the disease.
Having identified the information need as a priority, we have produced an empowerment toolkit that is fully available to people with multiple myeloma and can support them before, during, and after their visit with the hematologist and other professionals involved in the care pathway.
