Prescription app for doctors
Hyderabad-based Saince Health Tech launched an innovative mobile-based electronic prescription application, RapidRX.
Hyderabad-based Saince Health Tech launched an innovative mobile-based electronic prescription application, RapidRX. This mobile app along with a web portal (www.rapidrx.in) will enable physicians to prescribe medicines electronically to patients in any type of care setting like a hospital, clinic or even telemedicine.
Raghuvir Vedantham, President and CEO, Saince HealthTech, says, “I am passionate about health care. I always wanted to provide better tools for doctors and this inspired me to invent the app.” RapidRX is a result of collaboration among developers, physicians and many experts in healthcare. “We were working on the app since two years, we have engineers and doctors in our team,” Raghuvir shares.
“Currently over five and half million medical images per year are processed using Saince’s solutions. Saince’s solutions are available in various deployment models including cloud and enterprise. We are trying to make it simple writing and a unique way of prescribing medicines,” Raghuvir informs.
About their target, he says, “At present their target are doctors and by the end of this year we want 25,000 doctors to register for the app. Any doctor, who is recognised by Medical Council of India, can register.” “Right now we are focusing on certain geographical places, restricting region in North and South India. We have centres in Hyderabad and Vijayawada and we have employed 165 professionals.
Going forward we are planning to double its employee strength in both the cities and step up revenues from its Indian operations,” he adds. RapidRX minimises medication errors, a leading cause of prescription-related complications. “Our goal is to push its adoption to doctors and patients.
The unique feature of this application is the accessibility of a first-ever comprehensive database of over 26,800 licensed drugs sold in India that include generics, brands, strengths, intake method and dosage. It is a very intuitive app that enables doctors to write prescriptions in few seconds," he says.
