The University of Southern California and Authentidate’s Subsidiary AEON to Participate in a Study Focusing on Medication Adherence

Poor Medication Compliance Costs the U.S. Healthcare System $100 Billion to $289 Billion Annually

BERKELEY HEIGHTS, N.J. and GAINESVILLE, Ga., Feb. 11, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Authentidate Holding Corp. (OTCQB:ADAT) today announced that Peachstate Health Management, LLC d/b/a AEON Clinical Laboratories (AEON) will participate in a research   study with the University of Southern California (USC) School of Pharmacy focusing on medication adherence. The research study will focus on the issue of medication adherence and compliance, which is estimated to cost the U.S. Healthcare system $100 Billion to $289 Billion annually and contributes 125,000 deaths a year and up to 10 percent of all hospitalizations.

Sonny Roshan, founder of AEON Clinical Laboratories and Chairman of Authentidate commented, “Medication adherence is an endemic problem for our nation that is extremely costly and undermines the value of carefully designed patient care plans. These important studies are designed to identify the root causes of medication nonadherence. AEON Clinical Laboratories will bring its proprietary pharmacogenetics data to these studies utilizing its reliable and proven facilities and services. With our advanced pharmacogenetics, providers will be able to develop a precision-guided treatment plan.  Part of Aeon’s mission is to help facilitate the development of clinical best practices that enhance healthcare outcomes and address the issue of healthcare cost inflation. We look forward to collaborating with USC and some of the nation’s leading healthcare experts to improve medication adherence.”

“These studies will provide significant clarity around why so many patients become non-adherent and provide insight about what can be done to improve medication adherence and patient health outcomes,” according to Dr. Naomi Florea, Vice Chair of Innovation at USC. “We chose to work with AEON because of their track record of innovation and the strength of their process and testing technology. We believe that the expertise and the technology our partners are providing is needed to achieve reliable study results.” 

AEON and The University of Southern California will participate with Dr. Itiel Dror’s study work. Dr. Dror's academic work relates to theoretical issues underlying human performance and cognition. His research examines the information processing involved in perception, judgment and decision-making. Dr. Itiel Dror has published dozens of peer-reviewed scientific articles and serves as Associate Editor and on the Editorial Boards of several scientific journals.
