4 points by ImpactPharm 4y ago

Hey everyone! TL;DR: Looking for feedback on my app in exchange for a one-time free consultation with a pharmacist 24/7 (an appointment would be encouraged as well!) A quick reflection on the focus of my company, ImpactPharm: Let's talk about Uber first. It is a technically complicated app for a simple idea: getting someone from point A to point B by connecting them with a freelance driver. See this blog: "The Uber Engineering Tech Stack, Part I: The Foundation | Uber Blog" https://www.uber.com/blog/tech-stack-part-one-foundation/ https://www.uber.com/blog/tech-stack-part-one-foundation/ Our Uber-inspired healthcare app aims to answer a patient's contextual medication-related question by connecting them with a freelance licensed pharmacist. The reviews and profiles of pharmacists and patients are features. They make us more approachable. The thoughtful, contextual, and actionable answer is the key product. That's our destination. Our ImpactPharm app is now available on the App Store on both Android and iOS/Apple for you to download: Apple App Store: https://apps.apple.com/vn/app/impactpharm/id1624419611 https://apps.apple.com/vn/app/impactpharm/id1624419611 Android App Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=us.impactpharm.app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=us.impactpharm... Please give us a try. Everyone has a free trial from now until Labor Day, September 5, 2022! Please write us a review on the App Store and let us know whether: > The information provided by your pharmacist is clear, helpful, and well researched. > The app is readable and runs smoothly. > You plan to continue using ImpactPharm. > Using ImpactPharm improved your overall health and well-being. > The care you received from ImpactPharm is worth more than what you paid to use this service. And please tell us: Why will or will you not use this app again? Thank you for your support! Sophie Le, PharmD Co-founder & CEO ImpactPharm, Inc

Just as an information for you: german phamacists are already required to give information to the patient, even when they sell useless stuff like homeopathy.

  Cool! US pharmacists are also required to counsel patients on new medications, but our frontline pharmacists are usually too busy to handle questions about side effects and how to manage them, which you know, are important stuffs to know. I hope our German colleagues are doing better than us in that regards. We can do more to help our patients get the right medications for the right indications, with the right dose, route, formulation & at the right time! This would lead to fewer ER visits and save the healthcare system 3B+ in the US alone.
