IPC Digital Health
Building the Digital Ecosystem for Independent Pharmacies
Independent pharmacies are evolving into modern healthcare access points, and digital services are an essential part of that transformation.
Through strategic partnerships and investments in new technology, IPC is building a digital ecosystem that connects patients to care, prescription savings, and delivery; all while keeping the independent pharmacy at the center.
Today, IPC Digital Health offers solutions across three key areas:
- Telemedicine access
- Prescription savings
- Medication delivery and people transport
AI-Enabled Care with doctronic
Doctronic is a national direct-to-consumer telehealth platform, digital health care is increasingly the first point of access for patients. Through its partnership with Doctronic, IPC member pharmacies can offer AI‑enabled telemedicine that provides fast, affordable access to licensed providers.
Patients start with an AI‑guided consultation and can escalate to a $39 provider visit when needed.
For pharmacies, this creates an opportunity to extend care beyond the counter through a trusted digital experience.
