AI‐Enabled Telehealth Access Through Independent Pharmacies

" AI is everywhere, and it can feel overwhelming," said Kate Helf, VP of IPC Digital Health. "We see AI‐enabled telehealth as a foundational tool, we'll continue to build on, supporting independent pharmacies as they expand access to care while staying central to the patient relationship."
In many rural and underserved communities, independent pharmacies are often the most accessible healthcare touchpoints. Enabling digitally supported care options through the pharmacy, IPC and Doctronic aim to help close gaps in availability, strengthen continuity of care, and expand the support patients can receive, regardless of geography.
"This partnership is an important step in building a pharmacy-led ecosystem that supports growth into new areas of care," said Marc Essensa, CEO of IPC. "Thoughtful use of AI and digital health tools helps strengthen access to care, particularly in rural communities."
"Independent pharmacies are the backbone of care in thousands of communities. Our partnership with IPC puts AI-enabled telehealth in their hands, so they can expand what they offer patients without losing what makes them indispensable." - Matt Pavelle, Co-CEO of Doctronic
This partnership represents one component of IPC's ongoing Digital Health roadmap, which is focused on collaboration, innovation, and long‐term sustainability. As healthcare continues to evolve, IPC remains committed to exploring partnerships that
help independent pharmacies participate in emerging care models while continuing to serve patients as trusted, local healthcare providers.
