Munich, Germany — November 04, 2025
Smartpatient, the company behind the world leading MyTherapy platform, and ALK, a world leader in allergy immunotherapy, are celebrating three years of partnership dedicated to strengthening adherence and persistence among allergy patients in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
The collaboration, launched in October 2022, addresses a fundamental challenge in allergy immunotherapy: treatment adherence is the decisive factor for a successful therapy.
Although many patients experience noticeable improvement in their symptoms after just a few weeks, a consistent and continuous treatment over at least three years is essential for achieving long-term and sustainable results.
ALK and smartpatient co-developed digital patient support programs built on MyTherapy, combining science-based education with behavioral and practical guidance. These programs help allergy patients manage their immunotherapy confidently in daily life. Through daily reminders, refill tracking, and tailored educational content, patients receive ongoing guidance throughout the full course of their treatment.
Recent in-app survey results highlight the impact of the collaboration. 95% of participating patients reported understanding the importance of remaining on therapy for at least three years, and more than 90% said they feel well educated about their treatment. These findings show that the programs effectively strengthen patient understanding and motivation — two key drivers of adherence in long-term therapy.
Three years of collaboration with ALK have reinforced the value of partnership in delivering lasting treatment success, by integrating behavioral science into everyday patient experiences, we’ve helped bridge the gap between prescription and persistence.
