The largest product release for the company’s virtual
pharmacy platform to-date, targets a key and growing target problem
in Canada; the administrative burden on caregivers who are managing
multiple medications, many times for multiple dependents. This
feature allows users to manage the medication profiles of multiple
users from a single account. By utilizing the power of mobile
technology, home-delivery and an “always on” pharmacy experience,
Mednow is providing an effective solution for the caregivers of
Canadian households.
Mednow Inc. (TSXV: MNOW) (OTCQX: MDNWF), Canada’s on-demand
virtual pharmacy has launched its largest technology release
to-date.
At the core of the new product upgrade is the new caregiver
feature suite. The caregiver feature suite allows users to add
dependents to their account, making it easier for caregivers to
manage the medication and healthcare needs of their loved ones.
This will be useful for caregivers to keep track of medication
schedules, refill prescriptions, manage prescription deliveries,
and consult with a clinical pharmacist relating to the care of
their loved one.
By offering this feature suite, Mednow is providing a
much-needed solution to a growing need in the Canadian market,
particularly among the aging population.
Additionally, this feature creates a unique opportunity for
Mednow to deepen its synergies with Medvisit, which specializes in
providing doctor visits to geriatric patients. As a growing segment
of this market consists of patients who are homebound, the
caregiver feature set will allow caregivers to easily manage
medication reconciliation and delivery, without either party ever
needing to set foot in the pharmacy.
“I am very proud of our technology team for their work on this
major product release,” said Ali Reyhany, CEO and Co-Founder of
Mednow. “This feature is the latest improvement of our proprietary
technology that was engineered to provide an ideal virtual pharmacy
experience. When combined with the adherence solutions and clinical
services Mednow provides, we believe we have a unique and unmatched
offering for elderly Canadians and their caregivers. Having spent
over 15 years in the pharmacy industry in Canada as a pharmacist
myself, I saw first hand that it was often the children or loved
ones of those on multiple medications who had to deal with the
prescription management for their parents.”
Mednow will launch a comprehensive fee-based elder care product
in partnership with existing and expanding distributors, plan
administrators, and payors later this year. This benefit is rapidly
gaining popularity in Canada and is a standard offering in many US
corporate plans.
Our product combines virtual and at-home care, caregiver
medication management, delivery and adherence solutions all in one
application, making it an excellent solution for workers caring for
elderly family members.
The combination of on-call and in-app doctor home visit dispatch
or virtual services, medication management, delivery, automatic
refills, and adherence solutions will provide workers with a
fantastic new elder care benefit product, offering peace of mind to
caregivers that their loved ones are receiving the care they need
from the comfort of their homes. Our Chief Revenue Officer, David
Marantz, says, “this is an excellent solution for a large (and
growing) generation of Canadian workers caring for elderly family
members.”
“Our software application is the gateway to our full service
pharmacy team, who can provide advice on medications and recently
are now also able to prescribe for 13 minor ailments in Ontario. We
are on a mission to empower pharmacists to enhance our healthcare
system with technology, and this is a major step towards that,”
said Ali Reyhany, CEO at Mednow.
