Is Your Doctor a Robot? Express Pharmacy Launches Algorithm Assisted Prescription Service
London (PRWEB UK) 8 July 2013 -- Express Pharmacy recently launched a cutting-edge algorithm-assisted prescription service allowing UK consumers to safely purchase prescription medication through their online consultation service.
The revolutionary system was designed by Dr. Graham Stretch in conjunction with Dwayne D'Souza, an ex-JP Morgan investment banker with experience in algorithmic high frequency trading. Dwayne D'Souza worked together with Dr. Stretch to develop state of the art algorithms for safely and accurately processing patient consultations.
Algorithms allow the innovative online system to understand the basic inclusion/exclusion criteria used when prescribers decide whether a patient is suitable for a particular medicine. After the algorithm has analysed the patient's information, the consultation is closely checked by an independent prescriber, before a prescription is issued to the dispensing pharmacy. The algorithm creates a safe and reliable system which eliminates human error when processing patient consultations. By creating a more efficient system, Express Pharmacy have lowered the prices of prescription medicine and are now the most competitive online pharmacy on the market, allowing consumer access to lower prices for prescription medication. For example, a quick look online confirms that Express Pharmacy offers the lowest price for malaria tablets across several major online pharmacies.
Express Pharmacy only dispense medication which is non-addictive and not controlled by the Misuse of Drugs Act. The conditions treated are usually lifestyle-related and are not typically covered under the NHS prescription scheme. By allowing patients to undertake efficient online consultations, less time is spent by NHS doctors and GP practises treating life-style conditions thereby resulting in time savings for patients and a reduction in cost for the NHS and ultimately the taxpayer.
Express Pharmacy are an online pharmacy regulated by the General Pharmaceutical Council. Using their state of the art free consultation service, Express Pharmacy issues prescriptions to eligible patients and allows consumers access to prescription only medication for the treatment and prevention of diseases including anti-malaria tablets, erectile dysfunction, hair loss treatment, period delay pills and weight loss pills.
