Reimagining the Patient Experience
PatchRx is transforming medication adherence with an innovative patient-first service.
Making Radical Compassion The New Normal
PatchRx was founded in response to a growing epidemic of medication misuse. We believe that any misuse of medication reflects a systemic failure of the modern healthcare industry, rather than a failure of the patient.
Our mission is to create a system that reimagines the patient experience of taking a prescription medication to promote better adherence and better outcomes.
Drawing on the principles of 'radical compassion', we strive to put the patient at the forefront of every decision and to create an atmosphere of empowerment and transparency. By doing so, we hope to make medication non-adherence an absurd notion for future generations.

Transforming Medication Use with Empowerment and Transparency
We envision a world where medication use is no longer a source of fear and anxiety, but instead something to be embraced. We want to create a culture of empowerment and transparency, where patients are respected and supported in their journey to better health.
Care for All
At PatchRx, we believe that every patient should have access to the best care that modern medicine can offer. But we also understand that every patient is different, and has varying needs. At PatchRx, we provide technologies and services that are tailored to each individual's needs. We value the human element of care and the importance of creating meaningful relationships between patients and healthcare providers.
Privacy for All
Protecting the privacy of patient is integral to our mission. While we strive for transparency, we personally understand the critical nature of trust and privacy. We ensure all data and information provided by our patients is kept secure and confidential. We commit to the highest standards of data security, protecting our customers' data from unauthorized access, and ensuring that our patients can trust us with their most sensitive information.
Transparency for All
Additionally, we provide full transparency around who has access to patient data and what data they have access to, so that you can be sure that only authorized personnel are viewing your information. Our system is designed to be compliant with the highest security standards, including HIPAA and GDPR, so that you can be assured your data is safe and secure.
Putting the patient first, always.
Our namesake primarily comes from a visionary physician: Dr. Hunter ‘Patch’ Adams. In the early ’70s, Patch Adams created the first and only completely free hospital in the United States with a mission of instituting a model of “radical compassion” with hopes that it would proliferate throughout the healthcare industry. This company was founded on similar grounds: in response to personal tragedy and hardship resultant from non-adherence, and an awareness of a growing epidemic of medication misuse.
Our mission is to reimagine the patient experience of taking a prescription medication through better technology and personalized care. In this process, we expect two things to occur: a gradual, positive shift in the culture surrounding medication use to become one of empowerment and transparency, and for future generations to think of a death/hospitalization resulting from non-adherence as an absurd notion. In order to achieve this, we’re using the principles of radical compassion to put the patient at the forefront of every decision, asking ourselves ‘how will this improve the patient’s experience or health outcome?' at every step.
"It is inexcusable that the richest country in the world does not take care of all of its people. We don't consider ourselves idealistic; we're thoughtfully trying to make a beautiful health care model." - Patch Adams
To get there, we have an amazing and unusual employee culture. Like all great companies, we strive to hire the best and we value integrity, excellence, respect, inclusion, and collaboration. While we encourage autonomy and provide a platform for independent thought, we seek to find ways to work collaboratively and closely. But at all times one single theme remains true: the patient always comes first.
