In January 2019, Propeller announced the launch of My Pharmacy,
an in-app feature that allows users to manage their prescription
refills for asthma and COPD and locate a nearby pharmacy from the
Propeller app.
My Pharmacy launched initially with Walgreens and has now
expanded to include CVS, Walmart, Kroger and Rite-Aid, five of the
seven largest pharmaceutical providers in the U.S. representing
more than 50 percent of total U.S. market share for prescription
pharmaceuticals, according to Drug Channels Institute.
“We know that medication management can be an additional burden
for people living with asthma and COPD,” said Greg Tracy, chief
technology officer of Propeller Health. “We hope that creating a
convenient way to refill prescriptions and locate nearby pharmacies
from the Propeller app makes life easier for our users.”
Propeller is a digital health tool that helps people with asthma
or COPD manage their condition in partnership with their doctor.
Propeller sensors attach to patients’ existing inhalers and deliver
insights on medication use, symptom triggers and environmental
factors to the Propeller app on their smartphone, which they can
then share with their clinician to help inform their treatment
plan. Providers can also access Propeller to monitor their
patients’ progress, adjust treatment plans based on objective data
and intervene when necessary.
The update also allows users to select their preferred pharmacy
to display in the Records tab of the app. Propeller users can
access the newly connected pharmacy services in the app starting
this week.
