MedAvail Technologies and PenguinPickUp have recently launched the SpotRx Pharmacy in Toronto. The new pharmacy is a completely automated, self-service pharmacy that gives consumers a more convenient and effective way of picking up their prescriptions.
The state-of-the-art pharmacy will allow users to access their prescriptions in under a minute at the kiosk or choose to have their medicine delivered to their home or office. "The SpotRx kiosk is truly the pharmacy of the 21st century. We are providing consumers with simple, on-demand access to a pharmacist through private audio-visual communications built into the kiosk and accessible via a smartphone app," said Ed Kilroy, CEO of MedAvail.
As more industries opt for automated, self-service business models, users can expect more convenience when purchasing their products.
