OUR RESEARCH
We are very pleased to have been involved in a number of studies that have resulted in White Papers on patient engagement. Outlined below are a sample of the papers that have been completed and available for public review and comment:

Testimonials
Regarding a patient diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder Type 2:
"LifeWIRE helped the member adhere to his treatment plan. His hypomanic episodes were reduced to the point where he no longer needed supplemental anti-anxiety medications. As a result he has avoided re-hospitalization and gained additional support for his treatment needs from his wife."
Wounded Warrior - Testimony Before House Committee On Veteran Affairs
"Last weekend (the Service Member) used his phone to trigger a response. His response immediately (initiated a) text message to his clinician who was able to call the veteran and de-escalate a serious episode."
