Technology has transformed how we manage our health. From telehealth consultations to digital prescriptions and health-tracking apps, more Australians are going digital than ever before.
But with so many options, how do you know whatโs trustworthy?
๐ฑ Understanding digital health
Digital health includes apps, wearables, online consultations, and medication management tools. Used well, these tools can save time, improve medication adherence, and keep you connected to your care team, including your local FriendlyCare pharmacist.
๐ How your pharmacy fits in
At FriendlyCare Pharmacy, weโre embracing technology to make your experience more convenient:
- Digital Prescriptions: Receive and store your scripts securely on your phone.
- MedAdvisor App: Manage refills, set reminders, and message your pharmacist directly.
- Online Health Tools: We can help you find trusted platforms for telehealth, vaccination booking, and monitoring your wellbeing.
๐จ Stay safe online
Always check that any app or service is approved by an Australian health authority (such as the TGA or My Health Record). Avoid entering personal data into unverified sites or clicking suspicious links.
Your pharmacist can help you verify which digital tools are safe and suited to your health needs.
