Mednow Launches New Virtual Diabetes Management Program in Partnership With Dexcom

Mednow Inc. (“Mednow” or the “Company”) (TSXV: MNOW) (OTCQX: MDNWF) announced today the launch of its enhanced Virtual Diabetes Management program, an end-to-end digital diabetes management solution, to enable convenient on-demand access to Dexcom G6 (NASDAQ: DXCM) real-time continuous glucose monitoring (rtCGM) supplies and personalized diabetes care services.

The new integrated Virtual Diabetes Management program combines Mednow virtual pharmacy services with Dexcom rtCGM technology, to provide individuals with a comprehensive diabetes management solution. Services include access to a team of certified diabetes educators (CDEs) and clinical pharmacists for ongoing health coaching, personalization of treatment, and convenient home delivery of all diabetes-related medications and supplies.

The Mednow clinical team will utilize the Dexcom Clarity data platform, to integrate individual glucose patterns and trends into personalized coaching and care. For individuals without access to a physician, Mednow’s Virtual Care service can connect them with a licensed Canadian clinician who can offer medical advice, diagnose, and prescribe, online or on the phone. The Virtual Diabetes Management program will initially be available in Ontario and British Columbia starting in early February. To access the program, go to https://mednow.ca/pages/dexcom.

“Mednow is thrilled to partner with Dexcom Canada and bring cutting edge health solutions to patients across Canada living with diabetes,” said Ali Reyhany, CEO of Mednow. “Our virtual pharmacy services, combined with Dexcom's rtCGM technology, will provide patients with a more convenient and accessible solution for managing their condition. This program and partnership strongly align with our vision of utilizing innovative technologies to support patients in managing their care at home. Further, this leverages our investments in diabetes, including access to multilingual Certified Diabetes Educators, virtual pharmacist access, nutritional support, and preferred pricing for other non-prescription diabetic supplies.”

The Dexcom G6 rtCGM system uses a small, wearable sensor and transmitter to continuously monitor and send glucose levels wirelessly to a smart device* or receiver, giving patients real-time glucose data without the need to scan or routinely prick their finger†. The system has customizable alerts, including a predictive low glucose alert which can help patients take action to avoid potentially dangerous low blood sugar events (<3.1 mmol/L), and a function that allows patients to share their glucose data with up to 10 followers. The use of Dexcom rtCGM is proven to improve glycemic control^i,ii and can reduce the risk of costly long-term diabetes-related complicationsⁱⁱⁱ. Dexcom G6 also offers industry-leading connectivity through integrations with leading insulin delivery systems and digital health apps.
