HealthTab Signs Agreement for More Rexall Pharmacy Locations

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Avricore Health Inc. (TSXV: AVCR, OTC: AVCRF) (“Avricore Health” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce further expansion of HealthTab with Rexall Pharmacy Group ULC (“Rexall”). The Companies have been working closely to develop the best patient approaches and internal workflows to ensure the most successful deployment of this powerful point-of-care testing platform.

“To successfully screen and manage chronic and infectious disease, healthcare systems need pharmacists to play an active role,” said Hector Bremner, CEO of Avricore Health. “To do this well pharmacists need the best tools to have confidence in their results and the data to drive deeper insights.” 

Last September, the Company announced its first testing location within Rexall’s Pharmacy Walk-In Clinic in Sherwood Park, Alberta. That location, a first for Rexall as well, offers both the Afinion 2 blood-chemistry analyzer as well as the ID Now molecular platform by Abbott Rapid Diagnostics, giving patients quick access to their test results, and allowing for immediate consultation with their pharmacist.

The next steps will be to deploy a minimum of another 20 locations spread out between stores in Alberta and Ontario. After each deployment, the teams will collaborate to assess deployment workflow, refine processes and identify further deployment opportunities based on patient and pharmacist feedback.

With approximately 800 locations across Canada, HealthTab is expected to deepen its reach and empower more patients, and pharmacists, with health data insights that will drive better treatment plans, therapy adherence and patient outcomes.
