When mom got brain cancer, I used to take her for her "infusions". For 4 hours, we would sit there while drug was being infused into her veins and she had horrible nausea and hair loss. I built Persist to eradicate this horrible experience for future patients. We package drugs so that patients take 1 injection per month or year, without an infusion. This lowers the overall dose the patient receives (reducing side-effects), improves compliance, and quality of life.
