Timely by DrFirst Wins ‘Best Overall Patient Engagement Platform’ Award
Timely by DrFirst, a comprehensive mobile platform designed to enhance patient adherence and access for life science brands, has been honored as “Best Overall Patient Engagement Platform” by the prestigious 2025 MedTech Breakthrough Awards. In today’s complex healthcare landscape, patients frequently encounter confusing transitions between healthcare providers, payers, and pharmacies, complicating their treatment journeys. Timely addresses this issue by providing crucial support to both prescribers and patients at pivotal moments, beginning with the initial prescription.
Designed to seamlessly integrate with electronic health record (EHR) workflows, Timely equips prescribers with essential information and tools, such as copay assistance and support program enrollment, precisely when they’re writing prescriptions. Once the prescription is sent, the platform engages patients directly on their mobile devices through a secure, interactive experience that requires no app downloads or logins. “Every missed fill represents a missed opportunity to improve a patient’s health outcomes,” stated G. Cameron Deemer, CEO of DrFirst. “Timely was developed to minimize these missed fills, starting from the very first prescription. We’re thrilled to be recognized by MedTech Breakthrough and proud to offer a solution that helps patients access necessary medications while supporting healthcare providers and brands in their efforts to enhance outcomes on a larger scale.”
Unlike conventional approaches that often rely on fragmented systems or delayed outreach efforts, Timely provides a consistent, connected experience throughout the prescribing and fulfillment process, effectively bridging gaps that typically lead to abandonment or delays. As a result, patients benefit from improved adherence, while healthcare providers gain valuable tools that support patient care without adding to their workload. “Patients face numerous challenges in adhering to their medication regimens, ranging from forgetting to pick up prescriptions to cost-related issues and confusion about their treatment plans. These barriers can have severe consequences on patient health,” noted Steve Johansson, managing director of MedTech Breakthrough. “DrFirst’s end-to-end engagement solution addresses these adherence challenges by delivering personalized notifications from providers to patients. We’re delighted to name Timely ‘Best Overall Patient Engagement Platform!'”
