Gerresheimer partners with RxCap to offer connected adherence solutions
* Gerresheimer subsidiary Centor receives exclusive distribution rights
for pharmacies in the U.S.
* Adherence solutions enables pharmacies to offer remote therapeutic
monitoring
* Digital therapy support leads to improved health outcomes
Düsseldorf/Berlin, Ohio, USA, April 29, 2024 - Gerresheimer, an innovative
systems and solutions provider and global partner for the pharma, biotech
and cosmetics industries, has entered into a partnership with the US digital
health company RxCap and acquired a minority stake. Under the terms of the
agreement, Gerresheimer's subsidiary Centor will receive the exclusive
distribution rights for pharmacies in the U.S. for adherence solutions by
RxCap, consisting of connected prescription vial closure devices and
complementary cloud-based software. Centor is the U.S. market leader in
prescription vials and is uniquely positioned to enable smart adherence
solutions through existing pharmacy workflows.
'The adherence solutions from RxCap is an ideal complement to the Centor
prescription vials', says Tony Haba, Senior Vice President North America at
Gerresheimer. 'Solutions for digital therapy support are a future growth
market for Gerresheimer. That is why we are increasingly offering our
customers innovative solutions consisting of connected primary packaging and
digital monitoring platforms. The partnership with RxCap is an excellent
example of this.'
'Our mission is to help people stay adherent to their medications and
improve their care outcomes,' says Sreeram Ramakrishnan, CEO of RxCap. 'By
partnering with Centor - an innovative market leader with strong relations
with pharmacies, we will be able to grow the number of patients we serve.
Moreover, Gerresheimer's expertise in primary packaging and access to
pharmacy leaders will enable us to develop additional adherence solutions
that amplify our impact.'
Minority shareholding and seat on the Board of Directors
As part of the partnership, Gerresheimer has acquired a minority stake in
RxCap in addition to the exclusive distribution rights for pharmacies in the
United States. Gerresheimer will also appoint a representative to RxCap's
Board of Directors.
Remote Therapeutic Monitoring
Patient adherence to medication is crucial for therapy outcome and can
prevent cost-intensive hospitalizations. Digital therapy support is becoming
increasingly important in this area, not only through body-worn sensors and
apps, but also through connected primary packaging and delivery systems and
medication adherence monitoring.
Under the partnership agreement Centor will offer RxCap's suite of connected
prescription vial closure devices and complementary cloud-based software to
pharmacies to help them monitor their patients' prescription adherence.
These solutions require no additional effort from the patient and can easily
be integrated with existing enterprise workflows to manage patient needs
effectively.
Using a cellular signal, the RxCap reports to the cloud-based software
platform when the prescription vial has been opened. Pharmacy staff can
easily and quickly assess whether the medication has been taken as
prescribed and remind the patient to take the medication by text message or
phone call.
This partnership will enable pharmacies to quickly launch adherence
solutions that can support patient's health journey more effectively, with
minimal additional investments in their workflow, and create new revenue
streams.
RxCap now available for U.S. pharmacies
The RxCap solution is now available for U.S. pharmacies and can be ordered
directly from Centor. Centor is thus expanding its product offering in the
U.S., positioning itself in the market for remote therapeutic monitoring and
also benefiting from recurring revenues while making significant impact on
patient health outcomes.
For order inquiries and questions, pharmacies can contact Centor at
prescription@centorrx.com.
