# Patient Compliance & Routine Adherence

## Overview

Compliance and adherence metrics help you understand how consistently patients are following their routines over time.

## What You Can Learn

* Whether patients are returning to their routines
* Whether product usage patterns support likely reorder timing
* Whether long-term engagement is improving

## Why It Matters

Patients who stay consistent are more likely to see results, remain engaged, and continue purchasing products over time.
