Sentimed - Healthcare Professional Products

Sentimed offers telemedicine solutions built specifically for the pharmacy environment, solutions touching remote monitoring of vital signs and remote consultation.

Who is paying for telemedicine solutions offered in pharmacy?
The Canadian health care system as currently structured does not provide enough preventive medicine or continuous monitoring of changes in vital signs. These activities are not well rewarded by the current "usage-based" compensation of Medicare.

For pharmacists, the cost to implement a telemedicine program at their branch is limited to the costs of training their workforce.

For consumers, the cost for benefiting of a telemedicine program consists of a subscription for access to our database, to tailored information, consulting services, etc.., which cost between $34.99 per month.

What are the benefits of telemedicine?
In addition to their financial aspect, the telemedicine solutions available in pharmacies helps increasing the number of opportunities pharmacists have to get an active role on the pharmacotherapy, the dosage, the identification of drug interactions and negative health results of their customers while ensuring greater respect for treatment compliance and loyalty.

For consumers, the benefits of telemedicine are significant and include:
- Better access to doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals;
- Timely access to professional services, regardless of time or distance;
