Pharma Prescribed Podcast with Philip Morisky Chief Optimus at Adherence; The missing metric in healthcare: medication adherence

I’m Adam Walker a Biometrics consultant, and this is the Pharma Prescribed Podcast—where leaders, innovators, and hidden voices in healthcare open up. No soundbites. No spin. Just raw insight—one prescription at a time. In an industry driven by data, protocols, and pressure, we rarely pause to ask the human questions: What drives us? What breaks us? And what truths live behind the titles we wear? In this episode, we sit down with Philip Morisky, Chief Optimus at Adherence, to explore the missing metric in healthcare: medication adherence. Building on the legacy of the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS), Philip shares how he's transforming behavioral diagnostics into actionable insights—bridging the gap between validated measurement and real-world impact. From the evolution of MMAS-8R to the launch of ATLAS™, we unpack how fidelity, training, and data intelligence are reshaping global standards in patient care.
