App enables digital communication with the local pharmacy

Especially during the pandemic, it is a good idea to keep visits to pharmacies to a minimum. Together with Sanacorp Pharmahandel GmbH, one of the largest German pharmaceutical wholesalers, we have developed the meineapotheke.de app to make visits more efficient. Customers can use the application to fill prescriptions online, request medication, chat with their local pharmacy or even find the nearest pharmacy. This saves time and unnecessary journeys while enabling a quick and discreet pick-up.

Data protection is particularly important with these sensitive topics. Therefore, the chats between the customer and the pharmacy are completely encrypted end-to-end, and all data remain in Germany.

In a Scrum team, TNG implemented the app together with the client using the Ionic Framework which enables development of iOS and Android versions of an app with a single code base.

Further useful functionality is planned for the app, such as the ability to get e-prescriptions filled.
