As COVID-19 encourages many to stay home, a McKinney-based start-up is offering a critical service during the COVID-19 pandemic by delivering health care supplies.
CourMed, a crowdsourcing delivery company, launched in 2018. Founder and CEO Derrick Miles said the business has seen a shift in recent months.
“Because of COVID-19, all those big health care systems that said, ‘No thanks’ are now saying, ‘Yes,’” Miles said.
The company crowdsources delivery of prescriptions and health care supplies from independent pharmacies – much like GrubHub or UberEats crowdsource drivers to pick up meals for customers.
Pharmacies pay for the delivery. Pharmacists use the CourMed app to track deliveries and video chat with patients for virtual consultations.
