Mednow is disrupting the health market by creating a new kind of pharmacy - one that is virtual, on-demand and fully integrated with a digital healthcare platform that makes treatment convenient and creates better patient outcomes.

The demand for this change is large and unmet. Pharmacy is a $47B market that is almost entirely served by bricks and mortar stores. The digital technologies that have transformed so many different industries will transform pharmacy too.

Currently, half of Canadians with chronic illness do not take medications as prescribed, and two-thirds of Canadians over 65 juggle more than three medications/day. Mednow’s virtual on-demand pharmacy solution addresses both challenges with an aim to vastly improve adherence.

Mednow customers have access to telemedicine virtual care that is private and secure. Without leaving the comfort of home, customers are connected to healthcare professionals for a diagnosis and prescription. Through strategically placed fulfillment centres throughout Canada, Mednow’s proprietary PillSmart system receives and processes prescriptions which are organized and placed in pouches that are clearly labelled to include the name of the medication with instructions on when (day/time) to take them. Mednow then delivers the prescriptions to the customer’s location (home/office) on the same day of order (or next day), free of charge.

The PillSmart system also determines when a customer’s prescription requires a refill, which is processed automatically before existing supply runs out. The medication is then delivered without the customer having to re-order individual prescriptions.

Mednow is a first mover creating a digital ecosystem that combines telemedicine, pharmacy and a broad spectrum of services. The company’s founders, management and Board have pharmacy and medical domain expertise, are experienced technologists and have a track record of success managing and growing publicly traded companies.
