Cardinal Health, an American multinational health care services company, agreed to acquire ScalaMed, a HIPAA-compliant, smart platform that transfers prescriptions directly to patients via a secure mobile app. Financial terms were not disclosed. "The process of digitizing prescriptions removes the patient from the equation and overlooks the complexity of the real-life adherence challenges patients face – forgetting medication on vacation, not having a pharmacy with convenient hours nearby, the variables are endless," Tal Rapke, ScalaMed CEO and Founder.
