#2"Mail order" seems like the tip of the iceberg of what these guys could do. I shouldn't have to use a pharmacy for my prescriptions or the supplements/vitamins I take.
Love the design as well.

Exactly. At first, it seems simple, but a lot of complexity behind the curtain and huge potential. Pharma and pharma distribution is a massive industry and provided they're able to scale and prove the model, they could go on to do a lot of other really interesting things.

#4love the comparison to apple & the notion that a design-forward brand (in this case, software enabling easy purchase of important consumer goods) can help tackle a traditionally archaic and bureaucratic space. super excited to see how things progress.

#5My wife is a Pharmacist dual licensed in Mass and NH and in love with this idea. She's going to get in touch but if someone from PillPack is on here let me know. You'll get a career startup software developer as an addon ;).
Really cool stuff.

#6My hypothetical for solving this problem was some huge contraption that would electronically spit out the right pills when required. Pill Pack is so much more elegant. Can't wait to see them succeed!

#8Very nice. This will help many people. My mom has done home healthcare (as an RN) and always says the most common problem is the ability for folks to get the correct meds at the correct doses at the correct time without help.
Combining with some drones (Amazon or otherwise) and sensors could make some interesting scenarios for more time sensitive and ephemeral med needs...

PillPack developer here: I'm imagining our office in complete chaos as we test delivery drones. Excuse me as I head over to YouTube to watch quadrotor videos :)

#10Pillpack is the 10-15 year plan.
The 20 year is actual delivery within your body: take a pill once and it gradually releases the correct amount at the correct time with an option to flush it out of your system as well.
