Timely by DrFirst Named 'Best Overall Patient Engagement Platform' in 2025 MedTech Breakthrough Awards

ROCKVILLE, Md., May 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Timely by DrFirst, an end-to-end mobile platform that helps life science brands improve patient adherence and access, has been named "Best Overall Patient Engagement Platform" by the 2025 MedTech Breakthrough Awards.

In today's fragmented healthcare system, patients often face confusing handoffs between providers, payers, and pharmacies—making it harder to start and stay on treatment. Timely smooths the journey by supporting both prescribers and patients at critical moments, starting with the first prescription.

Designed to work within the electronic health record (EHR) workflow, Timely gives prescribers the information and tools they need—such as copay assistance and support program enrollment—when they're writing the prescription. Once the prescription is sent, Timely engages patients directly on their mobile device through a secure, interactive experience—no apps, logins, or downloads required.

"Every missed fill is a missed opportunity to help a patient achieve better health," said G. Cameron Deemer, CEO of DrFirst. "Timely was built to reduce those missed fills, starting from the first prescription. We're honored to be recognized by MedTech Breakthrough and proud to offer a solution that helps patients get the medications they need while also supporting provider and brand efforts to improve outcomes at scale."

Unlike traditional approaches that rely on disconnected systems or delayed outreach, Timely provides a consistent, connected experience across the prescribing and fulfillment process—closing gaps that often lead to abandonment or delays. Patients benefit from stronger adherence, while providers gain tools that support patient care without adding extra work.

"Patients face numerous challenges with adhering to their medications, from forgetting to pick up prescriptions to cost to confusion. These barriers can have dire consequences on patient health," said Steve Johansson, managing director, MedTech Breakthrough. "The end-to-end engagement solution from DrFirst addresses adherence challenges by delivering personalized provider-to-patient notifications. We're so pleased to name Timely 'Best Overall Patient Engagement Platform!'"

MedTech Breakthrough is an independent market intelligence organization that honors top companies, technologies, and products in the global digital health and medical technology space. The 2025 program received thousands of nominations from around the world.
