Healthera, a Cambridge-based provider of digital healthcare technology, has formed a consortium with pharmacy software provider Cegedim Rx.

The consortium has entered into a £1 million, 18-month collaborative agreement, co-funded by Innovate UK, focused on developing a connected digital solution for patients and pharmacies.

The purpose of the collaboration is to create “a new digital health solution that willincrease the level of [medication] compliance for patients, improve the efficiency of pharmacy clinical services, and support pharmacies in becoming first-line clinical providers”, the companies say.
