Stratis Partners with UK Meds
On 5 September, 2018, Stratis announced their latest partnership with the UK’s fastest growing online pharmacy, UK Meds. You can read their announcement here.
UK Meds is the fastest growing online pharmacy in the UK, digitally handling between 3,000 and 4,000 patient prescriptions each day. The company will deploy Stratis’ blockchain technology to improve patient safety across the online pharmacy sector as a whole, reducing instances of patients ordering multiple prescriptions. This is a great use case of Stratis blockchain technology being used to help solve real-world enterprise problems.
The CEO of UK Meds tells us they have been consulting with Stratis for months, so you can see how long it can take from beginning conversations until a formal announcement of a partnership. I anticipate seeing many more of these announcements in the future.
Krushang Patel, Head of Stratis Communications, told us Stratis has attracted companies in many industries. The companies Stratis already has on board are just the beginning.
While I write, Stratis’ announcement of this new partnership is prominently displayed on the front page of www.cointelegraph.com...
