While the number of Americans affected by Celiac Disease is not particularly high, studies show that number is rising. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley and rye that people with celiac disease must avoid. Unfortunately, there is a certain stigma to the popularity of gluten-free diets, and many believe that it is just a fad. There are, however, people who genuinely suffer from a gluten intolerance and even more who have a sensitivity. Fortunately, it is becoming easier to transition to a gluten-free diet due to greater access to information online, more recognition in the medical community, and improved gluten-free options at grocery stores.

Medmonk’s creators designed it as a tool to help pharmacists find funding for patients who can no longer afford their medications. It assists patients in getting the drugs they need, enables pharmacies and pharmaceutical companies to reach more patients, and protects insurers against bigger claims. Because there is no profit in it, very few pharmacies can afford to help patients who have trouble making payments for their prescriptions. Medmonk exists because independent pharmacies can use a great deal of help in that regard. Read more »

Technology has done well to keep up in two major ways. Firstly, the ability to maintain an online presence and allow customers to support local companies on the Internet is becoming much easier and less costly. Secondly, apps working with local businesses to offer customers delivery as a secondhand partner of sorts are quickly increasing in number. WeDeliver is one such app that has extended its services.
