TORONTO, March 2, 2021 /CNW/ - CareRx Corporation ("CareRx" or the "Company") (TSX: CRRX), Canada's leading provider of pharmacy services to seniors, and Think Research Corporation ("Think") (TSXV: THNK), a company focused on transforming healthcare through integrated digital health software solutions, today announced their Canada-wide partnership to deliver virtual healthcare to seniors.

Through the partnership, Think's VirtualCare telemedicine software will be available in select retirement residences, providing seniors easy and secure access to a network of physicians and specialists from the comfort of their own residence. Any prescription medication a resident requires following a virtual appointment can be fulfilled by CareRx, with delivery directly to the resident on the same day.

"One of the core tenets in providing best-in-class seniors pharmacy solutions is to leverage technology that will further contribute to the highest levels of care and safety for the residents of our seniors home customers," said David Murphy, President and Chief Executive Officer of CareRx. "To this end, we are thrilled to partner with Think Research, a leader in healthcare technology solutions for this innovative seniors healthcare initiative. VirtualCare supported by CareRx pharmacy services ensures ongoing health maintenance, as residents can 'see' a physician face-to-face in a timely and effective manner and have quick and easy access to their prescription medications."

This seamless healthcare experience reduces the risk of spreading COVID-19 within retirement communities by limiting in-person interactions, and also provides increased access to timely primary care services. The goal is to support residents to maintain their health, manage their medications and receive quality care.

"The COVID-19 pandemic has made it clear that telemedicine is a vital tool in helping ensure all patients have access to care providers without risking their health," said Sachin Aggarwal, Think's CEO. "We're incredibly pleased to be working with CareRx to fundamentally improve virtual healthcare services for seniors across the country and make it as safe and easy as possible for them to get quality care."
