Digital Pharmacist has acquired PocketRx, a mobile app that allows patients to manage their prescriptions and which is used by more than three hundred pharmacy brands such as Denver Health Pharmacy, USave Pharmacy and Owen’s Healthcare. The acquisition will help Digital Pharmacist accelerate its product development schedule, and expand its reach to over 6,000 pharmacies nationwide.

“By combining the very best features of the PocketRx app with our existing content-rich product suite, we are able to offer patients the easiest, most integrated tools to manage their medications,” Chris Loughlin, CEO of Digital Pharmacist, said in a statement. “Our products are fully integrated into the pharmacy workflow.”

Praeses developed the PocketRx app and will provide software development and support for Digital Pharmacist. Robert Terrell, product manager for PocketRx, has joined Digital Pharmacist as product development director.

“Incorporating PocketRx into Digital Pharmacist’s suite will benefit pharmacies and their patients, while allowing Praeses to focus on its core business of developing innovative software solutions,” Frank Auer, CEO and general manager of Praeses, said in a statement.
