Supporting the Supporters: How Adhera Health Is Redefining Digital Care for Families of Children With Chronic Conditions
A new peer-reviewed study published in JMIR Pediatrics and Parenting validates the impact of Adhera Health’s digital support program for families managing pediatric chronic conditions. With 100% caregiver engagement and significant improvements in stress management, behavior change, and treatment adherence, the study highlights how digital health tools can meaningfully support caregiver well-being—an essential yet often overlooked part of pediatric care.
Across the U.S., more than 26 million families are navigating the daily realities of raising a child with at least one chronic condition. From diabetes to growth disorders and obesity, these families shoulder an invisible burden—managing medications, doctor visits, emotional stress, and the ever-present fear of “what if?”
At Adhera Health, we believe care doesn’t start and stop in the clinic—it lives at home. And the people most responsible for sustaining it? Family caregivers.
That’s why we’re building family-centered digital health solutions that address not just the clinical side of pediatric care—but the human side, too.
Real-World Evidence: A Groundbreaking Study in Pediatric Growth Hormone Therapy
A recent study published in JMIR Pediatrics and Parenting put our mission to the test. The article, titled “Digital Health Program to Support Family Caregivers of Children Undergoing Growth Hormone Therapy: Qualitative Feasibility Study”, explored how a digital intervention like the Adhera® Caring Digital Program (ACDP) could improve the lives of families whose children were just beginning growth hormone therapy.
The findings were clear:
100% of caregivers completed the 3-month digital health program—a remarkable engagement rate.
81% reported positive behavior change in how they supported their child’s care.
76% said the program helped them manage stress, especially during treatment initiation.
67% noticed improved adherence to the child’s treatment plan.
Some caregivers continued to use the program even after the study ended, saying it became a natural part of their caregiving routine.
A Voice for Every Family
One parent told researchers:
“It felt like I had a companion—a calm voice in the middle of the chaos.”
This is the heart of Adhera’s work: to create digital companions that meet families where they are, with personalized support that builds confidence, reduces anxiety, and improves quality of life.
Proven Impact on Family Well-Being & Diabetes Management
Backed by years of clinical research, the Adhera Caring Digital Program has demonstrated its ability to improve health outcomes while reducing the emotional and financial burdens of pediatric diabetes management. Families using the program report better adherence to treatment plans, lower stress levels, and enhanced overall well-being. Additionally, the program’s data-driven approach helps healthcare providers and payors optimize care strategies, ultimately reducing unnecessary healthcare utilization such as emergency room visits.
A Family-Centric Approach to Chronic Pediatric Care
What makes Adhera different is our commitment to the entire family ecosystem, not just the patient. Through digital companions like the ACDP, we provide:
Daily wellness check-ins for caregivers and children
Mental well-being practices like guided breathing and mindfulness
Evidence-based content tailored to pediatric conditions
Behavioral nudges that promote healthy habits and adherence
Our programs are transdiagnostic, designed to support families managing everything from growth hormone deficiencies to type 1 diabetes, and obesity. And with AI-driven personalization, the experience adapts to each family’s emotional and clinical needs.
For Pediatric Providers, Health Systems, and Payors
For pediatric clinicians and care teams, integrating Adhera into treatment workflows means:
Improved adherence and family communication
Better caregiver well-being
Fewer avoidable visits and care gaps
For healthcare organizations and payors, Adhera offers scalable, evidence-based tools to support value-based care goals and population health outcomes—especially for Medicaid and CHIP populations where caregiver support is often lacking.
The Future Is Family-Centered
Caregivers are the backbone of pediatric chronic care. It’s time we supported them with the same intention and innovation we bring to patient-facing tools.
Adhera Health is proud to lead the way, turning real-world research into real-life support—because when caregivers thrive, kids do too.
