Curatio Named to MM&M's 2019 Top 40 Healthcare Transformers

New York, NY, May 07, 2019 --(PR.com)-- Today, innovators from all across the health-tech sector are
gathering at an awards reception in New York City. Medical, Marketing, and Media (MM&M), has
revealed its 2019 class of Top 40 Healthcare Transformers and Innovation Catalysts, the media brand's
honor roll of visionaries, gurus, and self-starters bravely working to bring about change in the healthcare
industry.

As the healthcare industry continues to advance, it looks increasingly towards technology to bring about
change and innovation. The result of this partnership between the two industries is improved practice
from healthcare practitioners, and increased patient engagement and care. Healthcare providers and
patients worldwide will continue to benefit through technological advances in the worlds of pharma and
healthcare.

"This year's class of Transformers reflects the tremendous growth we're seeing in medtech, as well as a
more holistic approach to health in general," said Stephen Madden, MM&M's editor-in-chief. "And as
always, it's pretty amazing to see how many very smart, creative people are working to help communities
manage and improve their health."

Among the Healthcare Transformers awarded are:

Lionel Bascles, Senior VP, global head of clinical sciences and operations, Sanofi

Kyle Holen, Head, development design center, AbbVie

Robin Roberts, Cofounder Novartis Biome, head of strategy and innovation, Novartis

Lynda Brown-Ganzert, Founder and CEO, Curatio

According to a recent report from Definitive Healthcare's 2019 Annual Healthcare Trends Survey,
healthcare consumerism and patient empowerment are expected to be on the rise in the healthcare
industry this year. "As patients bear more financial responsibility for their own healthcare, they are
demanding more of their providers. Patients are transforming into healthcare payers who are keenly
searching for the lowest cost, best value, and highest level of convenience with regards to their care."

Patients are continuing to become more aware of their choices and options with regards to their health,
meaning that healthcare organizations need to undergo a shift towards a patient-centered approach and
more positive consumer experience. Technology plays a strong role in this shift towards patient-focused
care by making health tools, education, and social support available directly to the hands of patients.
Published clinical results have shown that private, personalized online peer groups created around health
conditions and goals can not only meaningfully improve outcomes, but also provide a more valuable way
to address patient acquisition and retention. In a study of patients living with a chronic disease who used
Curatio, researchers found statistically significant improvements, with 80% of users showing an increased

interest in self-management, 75% showing improved health behaviours, and 71% showing improved
social integration. By placing the patient as the centre of focus, healthcare providers will see a more
engaged and empowered patient population.

Similarly, opportunities for advancement in health-tech also lie in patient-focused initiatives. A recent
review of rising trends in health-tech outlined Artificial Intelligence and patient support as some of the
key trends to watch out for (Buttice, 2019).

An analysis from Frost & Sullivan, Artificial Intelligence & Cognitive Computing Systems in Healthcare
projected AI as a disrupting technology with an estimated annual growth of 40% through 2021 in the AI
health sector alone. The report also stated that AI has the potential to improve outcomes by 30 to 40
percent while cutting treatment costs by as much as 50 percent.

AI-powered chatbots are one such initiative being explored by health-tech companies worldwide, and are
becoming more and more intelligent daily. These chatbots can go a long way toward assisting patients in
need in their own way, and can help to address the various emotional and psychological needs of patients.

As one of the Healthcare Transformers named by MM&M, Curatio is proud of our role in advancing
health-tech and bringing about change in the industry. Today, Curatio is being used by patients in over 85
countries and 4 languages. Using a unique combination of AI and matchmaking, Curatio's work with
pharmaceutical companies worldwide has established itself as the ultimate solution for patient
engagement, adherence, and retention.

MM&M's Transforming Healthcare Conference will see these leaders in pharma and healthcare coming
together in a convergence of the worlds of health-tech startups, VC, and all of the big healthcare industry
stakeholders. The conference will feature talks by high-level Transformers, discussions on integrating
new technology with old, and thought-provoking panels aimed at advancing the future of the health-tech
industry.
