Strategic Initiatives
Growth programs, investments, and their expected impact
Shifting commercial focus within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and Department of Defense (DoD) markets from 'facility breadth' to 'facility depth' under the leadership of new COO Mike Fox. This involves driving more prescribers per site and more patients per prescriber.
Expected impact: Aims to increase penetration in the VA headache market, which was estimated at only 2.5% (approximately 15,000 patients out of an addressable 600,000) as of early 2026.
Improving the marketing efficiency of the TruVega consumer wellness product line by shifting advertising spend toward affiliate and influencer partnerships.
Expected impact: Successfully improved return on advertising spend (ROAS) to approximately 2.37 in Q1 2026 (a 14% quarter-over-quarter improvement) while maintaining steady return rates of 12% to 15%.
