Unichem, Life Pharmacy launch unified app

Green Cross Health's pharmacy brands Unichem and Life Pharmacy have introduced a unified mobile app for ordering medicines. 

Available on both iOS and Android devices, the Unichem and Life Pharmacy app connects consumers with their local pharmacy, which in turn can access their personal medication records in real time. 

Other features of the app include reminders for taking medicines, pre-ordering, and booking pharmacy services. It also has a carer mode which allows a patient's family members to manage their medications on their behalf. 

The app, according to Green Cross Health, replaces the old text alert system that both Unichem and Life Pharmacy offered their customers to remind them of their next prescription medicine collection. "Our new app is like having a pharmacy in your pocket," said Alison Van Wyk, Unichem and Life Pharmacy Group COO.
