Personalized voice instructions improve medication adherence, health literacy, and outcomes—delivered at the moments patients need support most.
Patients absorb and remember spoken instructions better than written text.
of adults struggle with health literacy
of Canadian adults lack adequate health literacy
of seniors don't have adequate health literacy
Printed leaflets go unread and are often misunderstood by patients with low health literacy.
Seniors often forget care instructions given verbally during stressful clinic visits.
Multilingual patients face significant barriers accessing healthcare information in their preferred language.
Anxiety and stress reduce comprehension during medical appointments and after procedures.
Voice-based patient support at every step of care.
A simple VoiceTag®—printed, emailed, or texted—gives patients access to:
Clear dosing, timing, and safety guidance
Structured support for specialty therapies
Post-visit recovery instructions
Tools for families and caregivers
Multilingual community outreach
Calming support between appointments
Patients can replay instructions and ask follow-up questions anytime.
Clinicians, pharmacies, PSP teams, or public health agencies generate voice guidance from templates or custom scripts.
A VoiceTag® (QR code or link) is printed on labels, discharge papers, mailers—or sent via SMS/email.
Patients scan and listen. They can also ask safe, controlled follow-up questions through the conversational assistant.
Automated VoiceTags® on Every Prescription — Integrated Into Your Pharmacy Workflow
Pharmacies play a crucial role in patient safety, but counseling time is limited. Many patients leave unsure about how to take new medications, what side effects to expect, or when to refill. Hirdle Health integrates directly into pharmacy label printing and dispensing systems, enabling every prescription to include a VoiceTag® automatically—no additional steps for staff.
Improve Medication Adherence with Clear, Human Voice Instructions
Most medication mistakes happen at home. Patients forget what was said at pickup, ignore leaflets, or misinterpret instructions—especially when stressed or dealing with chronic conditions. Hirdle Health provides simple, repeatable voice instructions that make medication use clear and confidence-building.
Step-by-step audio guidance for when and how to take medications.
Patients can ask: "What if I forgot my morning pill?" and get safe, approved guidance.
Helps patients understand what's normal vs. when to seek help.
Food, alcohol, and drug interactions explained simply and safely.
Encourages adherence for chronic therapy routines.
English, French, Spanish, Mandarin, Punjabi, Arabic, Tagalog, Cree, Inuktitut, and more.
Spoken instructions are easier to remember and easier to follow. Voice reduces anxiety, overcomes literacy barriers, and supports seniors and caregivers.
Boost Adherence and Reduce Drop-Off for Specialty Medications
Specialty medications are complex and often intimidating. Patients may need to self-inject, follow structured dosing cycles, manage serious side effects, or adhere to strict timelines. Hirdle Health delivers structured voice-guided support that helps patients stay confident and on-track through the first 90 days and beyond.
Clear audio guidance on preparation, injection technique, site rotation, and safe disposal.
Dosing-cycle explanations, side-effect expectations, and when to call a provider.
Flare support, symptom check-ins, adherence reminders, and caregiver voice notes.
Guidance for inhalers, nebulizers, and device cleaning.
Insurance basics, first-dose steps, temperature storage, red-flag symptoms.
Complex therapies fail when patients become overwhelmed. Voice creates calm, structure, repetition, and reinforcement—critical for persistence.
Reduce Readmissions with Clear Post-Visit Voice Instructions
The hours and days after a visit are the most vulnerable. Patients leave tired, anxious, medicated, or overwhelmed—making printed instructions hard to follow. VoiceTags® give them clear, replayable instructions for safe recovery at home.
Pain control, mobility, diet, rest, and safe home routines.
Step-by-step voice guidance for cleaning, bandage changes, and infection prevention.
Clear explanations of red flags and when to seek help.
Audio pacing, movement cues, and home routine support.
Simplified parent-friendly instructions they can replay for any caregiver.
Safety steps, grounding, and follow-up reminders.
Patients remember far more from voice than from paperwork. Voice reduces confusion, anxiety, and preventable complications.
Voice Support That Keeps Seniors Safe and Independent
Seniors face more medications, more routines, and more complexity—often with less energy, memory, or caregiver availability. Voice simplifies daily health tasks and supports aging-in-place.
Simple, friendly audio reminders for daily routines.
Prompts for BP checks, blood glucose, hydration, or symptom tracking.
Clear, slow-paced voice designed for seniors with memory challenges.
Personalized audio from loved ones or support staff.
VoiceTags® placed around the home for mobility and nighttime safety.
Voice is the most natural, accessible format for seniors—especially those with visual, cognitive, or literacy limitations.

Research indicates that patients often struggle to remember spoken medical instructions, particularly older adults and those with lower health literacy. Repeatable, on-demand voice guidance may help address this challenge.
Based on medical communication research
Studies suggest that multimedia interventions (combining audio and visual elements) can improve health information comprehension compared with text alone.
Based on health literacy research
Published research shows poor medication adherence is linked to treatment failures, preventable hospitalizations, and increased healthcare costs across multiple conditions.
Based on adherence outcome studies
Healthcare economic analyses indicate that medication non-adherence represents a substantial avoidable cost to healthcare systems, with estimates ranging into hundreds of billions annually.
