Lyte Medical and The Health Depot Pharmacy partner in groundbreaking collaboration to bring medical care and medical prescriptions directly to Canadian homes
TORONTO, July 15, 2020 /CNW/ – The Health Depot Pharmacy and Lyte Medical are pleased to announce their patient-centered online partnership; a venture that will help Canadians access medical care and prescriptions from the comfort and safety of their homes.
As Canadians adjust to a new reality and work to establish new daily routines; consistent access to healthcare and medications takes on even more importance. Virtual and direct-to-door prescription delivery are a necessity in meeting patients where they are.
According to the Canadian Radiotelevision and Telecommunications Commission, nationally, 86% of Canadian households have access to high speed internet. This online access presents health care practitioners and pharmacists with an opportunity to connect with patients remotely and remove some of the barriers to continuity of care including wait times, transportation, and scheduling.
In February 2020, The Canadian Medical Association, the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and the College of Family Physicians of Canada released a report on the future of virtual care in Canada. They emphasized the importance of prioritizing quality-based virtual care that truly respects the needs of Canadians.
“As a registered pharmacist since 2011, I have witnessed the evolution of health care in Canada. The Health Depot Pharmacy’s partnership with Lyte Medical will allow Ontarians to see a physician and access their prescribed medications in a timely fashion”, says Andy Donald, Founder & CEO of The Health Depot Pharmacy. “Our unique pharmacy services and approach allows necessary medications to be delivered promptly to those who rely on them, wherever and whenever they need them.”
The Health Depot makes the pharmacy and healthcare shopping experience simple for all Ontarians. Their healthcare e-commerce store has thousands of health essentials available for online purchase and delivery, which can be shipped together with prescriptions for free. Their Daily Dose Packs allow for an easy approach for patients who are taking multiple medications to have a simple, one daily packet approach, which is particularly helpful to seniors, caregivers, chronically ill, and individuals with special needs among others.
“Our forward thinking partnership with The Health Depot Pharmacy creates unprecedented access to a seamless virtual care experience. Canadians need medical care and medications in ways that accommodate their life circumstances”, Ali Mohamed, CEO of Lyte Medical says. “Lyte Medical’s virtual platform allows patients to speak to a doctor from the comfort of their own home and obtain their prescribed medications and health products online from The Health Depot Pharmacy, next day for free anywhere in Ontario with direct to door delivery.”
