Welcome Testing The Waters visitors.

Hi I’m Sophie, Founder and CEO of ImpactPharm. We are creating an app that connects patients with licensed pharmacists to 1) bridge the care gap and 2) thoughtfully address medication-related questions and concerns from our patients. Learn more about our campaign below and ask us any questions you have about our business!

PROBLEM

1. Consequences from the lack of access: Unaddressed questions and concerns related to medications can lead to misuse of medications, overdoses, hospitalizations, and deaths. 

2. Awareness: Patients don’t know who to reach out to when seeking quick advice about medications. 

3. Wait time & costs: Patients are waiting too long or spending too much money when seeking help from pharmacists.

I am doing this because as a front-line pharmacist at a big chain pharmacy, I have seen a lot of frustration from my own patients when they could not ask pharmacists without waiting in line or being put on hold for 45 minutes on the phone. After seeing this problem repeatedly without any attempt to resolve it from upper management, I decided to solve this problem full-time.

OPPORTUNITY

Our competitors are Teladoc, Aspen RxHealth, and LemonAid. They have existed for years, but they still struggle to gain tractions among pharmacists and customers. The startups that struggle to gain traction among patients only allow the patients to play a passive role, but push pharmacists to make as many random calls as possible to find patients to be counseled. The initiation roles will be reversed in our app. 

The global telepharmacy market is expected to reach $71.43 billion by 2027 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 32.48%. We aim to have a solid starting phase only in Minnesota, and the expected annual revenue is about 4 million dollars.

We are working with Savvy Coop as well as local and national patient and caregiver support groups. Sophie also has a lot of pharmacist connections in Minnesota since she graduated from the only pharmacy school in Minnesota that has been consistently ranked in the top 3 pharmacy schools in the nation. Based on our large pool of pharmacists and patients who are willing to join us in this journey, we aim to become a top 5 telehealth player in Minnesota within the first 2 years of launching.

SOLUTION

We aim to create value for patients by reducing wait times, unnecessary urgent care visits and saving healthcare costs; and for pharmacists by providing an infrastructure like real-time consultation to boost effectiveness and efficiency and thus help them earn more money at their own time.

Our pricing model starts from single charge per consultation (e.g., $25/20-min-session) to a monthly subscription.

50% of the revenue will go towards pharmacists.

20% of the revenue will go towards operations, recruiting patients, and ensured privacy and technical compliance aspects.

30% is profits.

Assumptions:

• For regular customers, we will charge them $25 per a 20-minute session
• 50% of our revenue is returned to the pharmacists
• 20% operational costs for the first year

y-axis is in $1,000 USD

TRACTION

• Provisional patent filed February 2022.
• Two surveys of 300+ patients and 500+ pharmacists show that over 80% of them would be interested in using an app like ours. 
• A segment on Advancements with Ted Danson on Bloomberg, which will reach 80 million households, is scheduled to air in Q3 2022.

Our ImpactPharm app launched on Bastille Day, July 14, 2022!

We aspire to bring more human connections into our healthcare consultations by bringing patients and pharmacists closer, as we learn from one another and improve our healthcare experience.

The ImpactPharm app is now available on both Android and Apple App Stores for you to download:

Since we are still at the inception of our journey, we would appreciate any constructive feedback from thecommunity as we improve our product and service.

Please spread the words and/or give us a try, and let us know whether:

• The information provided by your pharmacist is clear, helpful, and well researched.
• The app is readable and runs smoothly.
• You plan to continue using ImpactPharm.
• Using ImpactPharm improved your overall health and well-being.
• The care you received from ImpactPharm is worth more than what you paid to use this service.

And please tell us: Why will or will you not use this app again?

Thank you in advance for your feedback.
We are looking to learning from you!
