Case Study: Alere achieves 75% faster time to market for patient support services with Pegasystems

75% Faster time to market for patient support services

Alere, a global leader in point-of-care diagnostics and personal health support, needed to replace six legacy systems with a single, scalable clinical platform—Apollo—that could deliver rapid development and deployment, a holistic patient view from real-time biometric and claims feeds, and highly personalized workflows and portals tailored to patient health status.

Alere chose Pega for its rapid delivery, real-time rules processing, and customization, enabling business and IT to deliver Apollo in less than half the time of an internal Java effort. The platform added smartphone mobility, disease and case management, and dynamically updated care plans, driving 5x faster enrollment, a 50% cost reduction, and a 75% improvement in time to market; Apollo now supports 25 million participants, ~5,000 clinical users, processes 300,000 device/lab records daily and 100 million transactions monthly.
