UniDoc Health announced that it signed a deal with Ontario's OnPharm-United to test its virtual care technology. For now, the technology will be used in three pharmacies in Ontario. The platform is available as a standalone kiosk, acting as a remote health care clinic.
Users can experience real-time remote doctor/patient engagement. The tool enables full diagnostic capabilities to replace a walk-in clinic visit. The clinic kiosk responds to the Canadian struggle to access primary care. Overhead costs for walk-in clinics are at an all-time high, which in turn exacerbates the shortage of physicians across the nation. UniDoc aims to solve this issue; if the test results are successful, the remote clinic will open over 300 pharmacy installations in Ontario.
