We founded Pocketpills as a solution to fix the broken system that made getting care harder than it needed to be. We don’t believe long line ups at the doctor’s office, confusing refill protocols & one-size-fits-all advice, actually fit with what Canadians need, so we’ve changed the game. Powered by pharmacists, engineers, doctors, clinicians & service experts, our platform redefines the world of wellness, from personalized treatment that actually feels personal, to truly effortless refills, including free, friendly delivery. Because we do believe Canadians deserve a better way to manage their most important asset, their health.
