BETACONNECT
BETACONNECT is an electronic autoinjector for BETAFERON designed to help patients take BETAFERON as prescribed. The device has a modern, ergonomic design made to encourage adherence (see figure 1).
BETACONNECT’s reminder function may help prevent patients forgetting a dose, the most common reason for missed doses according to several patient surveys [1-3].
Multiple surveys and observational studies evaluated patient satisfaction with BETACONNECT and data on adherence:
- Most patients expressed a high level of satisfaction and preference for BETACONNECT [4-8] (see figure 2 for an example of patient satisfaction with BETACONNECT in Germany [4])
- High rates of adherence to BETAFERON were observed among patients with RRMS or CIS using BETACONNECT [6-8] (see table [6]).
