As pressures rise on healthcare organizations to reduce hospital readmissions and other costly adventures, MedCity News reports that Cincinnati-based Medacheck  has developed an alert system for seniors and others requiring medication adherence,.

Led by chief executive officer and founder Jeffrey Shepard and founded in 2012, Medacheck is partnering with ”hospitals, long-term care facilities, physician practices and going direct to consumers and caregivers to assist with medication adherence, an issue that costs the {U.S.} healthcare system up to $300 billion” a year.
