Hyderabad-based Saince Health Tech today announced the launch of a mobile-based electronic prescription application, RapidRx.

This mobile app along with a web portal (www.Rapidrx.In) will enable physicians to prescribe medicines electronically to patients in any type of care setting like a hospital, clinic or even tele-medicine, a company release stated.

RapidRx app is developed by Saince HealthTech, a subsidiary of Saince, Inc., a USA corporation.

Unveiling the RapidRx features, Raghuvir Vedantham, president and CEO, Saince HealthTech said, "the unique feature of this application is accessibility of a first ever comprehensive database of over 26,800 licensed drugs sold in India that include generics, brands, strengths, in-take method and dosage. It is a very intuitive app that enables doctors to write prescriptions in few seconds".
 

"RapidRx minimises medication errors, a leading cause of prescription related complications. Our goal is to push its adoption to doctors and patients," Raghu claimed.

Today, increasing drug over prescription or over usage incidences are a result of non-availability of patients' past records at the point of care.

This app from Saince HealthTech will help a registered doctor and his/her patient to keep track of all prescriptions including the history leading to better utilisation of harmful drugs and minimise side effects, he said.
