"You don't want to see their hopes go up and then come crashing down. And you don't want to be the doctor behind that."

@forus, an AI-powered network connecting doctors, pharmacies, payers, and biopharma to get medicine to patients faster.
Forus exists because one in three patients prescribed a drug for a complex condition never get their first dose. Doctors steer away from the newest medicines when they can't be sure a patient will receive them, resorting to decade-old treatments.
