HealthSpot Teams with MedAvail Technologies to Offer Comprehensive Telehealth Platform for Consumers


Dublin, OH – January 22, 2014 – HealthSpot℠, a pioneer in patient and provider-driven healthcare technology, today announced a strategic partnership with MedAvail Technologies Inc., an innovative company that created the MedAvail MedCenter™ telepharmacy kiosk. This collaboration will enable HealthSpot station locations to provide high-quality, accessible pharmacy services in addition to acute care telehealth services, in locations where there is no retail pharmacy, such as employer sites and community locations.

As HealthSpot stations deploy in convenient locations across the country, consumers will have more immediate options to receive quality healthcare and have their pharmaceutical needs met quickly and efficiently. The HealthSpot station, a private, walk-in kiosk that enables patients’ immediate access to medical diagnostics from board-certified doctors via high-definition videoconferencing and interactive, digital telehealth tools, could now be co-located with a MedAvail MedCenter telepharmacy kiosk, which is currently in pilot phase at locations in Illinois.

The MedCenter could support the dispensing of prescription drugs and over-the-counter medications through live, two-way conferencing with a pharmacist after a visit with a provider inside the HealthSpot station. At the completion of the HealthSpot visit, the provider has the ability to send an e-prescription to the MedAvail MedCenter for fulfillment. This combination of services becomes a comprehensive telehealth platform that offers the ultimate in convenience and accessibility for consumers.

“HealthSpot is dedicated to increasing accessibility while creating a truly integrated healthcare experience for the consumer. This experience means being able to receive care from a provider and then easily be able to fill the prescribed meds after the visit and consult with a pharmacist if needed. MedAvail allows consumers to get pharmacy services in non-pharmacy locations and is the perfect addition to HealthSpot’s platform for extended reach of convenient, affordable healthcare across the country,” said Steve Cashman, founder and CEO, HealthSpot.

“The cooperation we have with HealthSpot will have a significant positive impact on accessibility and health outcomes for consumers,” said Ed Kilroy, CEO of MedAvail Technologies. “We believe innovative telehealth solutions like HealthSpot have a consumer-centric edge that pairs well with our vision to bridge the gap for consumers needing pharmacy services.”
