Think’s leading telemedicine software will provide seniors easy and secure access to a network of physicians and specialists from the comfort of their own residence

TORONTO, ON, September 21, 2021 – Think Research Corporation (TSXV: THNK) (“Think” or the “Company“), a company focused on transforming healthcare through digital health software solutions, is pleased to announce today it has expanded its partnership with CareRx Corporation (“CareRx”) (TSX: CRRX), Canada’s leading provider of pharmacy services to seniors, to deliver virtual healthcare to residents in Chartwell Retirement Residences (“Chartwell”) (TSE: CSH.UN). This expansion follows a successful pilot project in select Chartwell residences, which began in March of this year. 

Under the expanded partnership, Think’s telemedicine software will be made available in Chartwell homes, providing seniors with efficient and secure access to a network of leading physicians and specialists from the comfort of their own residence. Any prescription medication a resident requires following a virtual appointment can be filled by CareRx and delivered directly to the resident on the same day, reducing the need for transportation. 

This innovative offering will be available in Chartwell locations in Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta. The rollout of the program will begin in September and continue through early 2022. 

Think CEO Sachin Aggarwal said “We are proud to partner with both CareRx and Chartwell on this innovative healthcare experience to achieve our collective goal: improve access to care and better health outcomes for everyone.

“Building on the success of the pilot project, this partnership reduces the risk of spreading viruses within retirement communities by limiting in-person interactions while also ensuring that all seniors have access to timely and effective healthcare services.” 

CareRx President and CEO David Murphy said “We are proud to have played an integral role as Think’s pharmacy services partner in the success of the pilot project, which has proven the value of their telemedicine solution in improving access to care and medication through technology.

“We look forward to continuing our work with both Think and Chartwell, providing Chartwell’s residents with the option of a face-to-face physician’s appointment in a timely and effective manner, and quick and easy access to their prescription medications all from the convenience of their residence.”

CEO of Chartwell Retirement Residences Vlad Volodarski said “We are pleased to be able to offer our residents an innovative and convenient digital health service that will enhance the overall resident experience and provide even greater peace of mind for families and loved ones. Thank you to CareRx and Think Research Corporation for helping to make the lives of our residents better.”
