Repeat prescriptions in the palm of your hand

Two-thirds of prescriptions in the UK are refills. But with an average of 10 days and several trips from GP to pharmacy needed for patients to obtain their medications, change was needed. Cambridge-based startup Healthera had the cure: an app that allowed patients to request, track, and manage repeat prescriptions in just a few taps.

The challenge

When they needed a proven healthtech partner, Healthera turned to Vention to accelerate innovation and product development. Priority was placed on making Healthera’s pharma supply chain more resilient, which was of utmost importance during the height of the pandemic.
