New MedAdvisor NDSS tool
August 26, 2016
AUSTRALIAN digital medication
adherence company MedAdvisor
has announced a collaboration with
Diabetes Australia (DA), to launch
a new tool that helps people with
diabetes order their
consumables and
ensure accurate supply
in pharmacy.
Under the National
Diabetes Services Scheme (NDSS)
administered by DA, all NDSS
consumable products such as blood
glucose strips, insulin pen needles
and pump consumables are now
only available through pharmacies.
MedAdvisor has now created
customised features which enable
people to reserve NDSS products
remotely for collection from their
MedAdvisor Network Pharmacy of
choice as well as track their usage.
MedAdvisor ceo Robert Read
highlighted that the company
has more than 35,000 people
living with diabetes already on its
platform.
DA ceo Adjunct Professor Greg
Johnson said, “Diabetes Australia’s
mission is to minimise the impact
of diabetes.
“We can do this
by supporting self-management
and
innovative services.
“We believe that the
MedAdvisor platform offers a great
solution that will empower people
with diabetes to better manage
their health.”
Diabetes has reached epidemic
proportions, MedAdvisor said,
with around 1.2 million diagnosed
cases of type 1 and type 2 diabetes
in Australia adding up to 100,000
who have developed diabetes last
year alone making it the biggest
healthcare challenge in the country.
