Cancer Patient Support Program (PSP) Platform for a Leading Pharma in Australia
Jul 20, 2024
Australia’s booming $4B oncology drugs market faces a paradox- the rapid growth of cancer, paired with delays in delivering life-saving treatments. A leading pharmaceutical company in Australia partnered with Zelthy to develop a multi-PSP (Patient Support Program) platform that offered a personalized, end-to-end patient journey across multiple therapy areas.
The platform digitally enabled patient engagement and therapy adherence by integrating value-added services such as injection training, therapy reminders, video visits, and field visits. It supported healthcare professionals (HCPs), hospital staff, nurses, and patients, ensuring a seamless, compliant, and efficient experience.
With Zelthy’s configurable, low-code architecture, the pharma company streamlined patient onboarding, therapy management, and care coordination, reducing manual effort and enhancing adherence rates by 45%.
Challenges
Before implementing the Zelthy-powered PSP platform, the pharma company faced several challenges:
Fragmented Patient Journeys – Different PSPs operated in silos, making it difficult to offer a consistent patient experience.
Limited Engagement & Adherence – Patients often missed follow-ups, therapy schedules, and injections, leading to reduced treatment effectiveness.
Operational Inefficiencies – Lack of an integrated system meant high administrative workloads for nurses, hospitals, and HCPs.
No Real-Time Monitoring & Analytics – Pharma teams struggled to track program performance, patient adherence, and engagement metrics.
Regulatory Compliance & Data Security Risks – Managing patient data across different PSPs required strict adherence to privacy regulations.
To improve patient outcomes, reduce drop-offs, and enhance therapy adherence, the company needed a unified, digital-first PSP platform that could support multiple patient journeys while ensuring regulatory compliance.
