Summary
Pharmacies aren't just for picking up prescriptions anymore. CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid are remaking themselves as digital health hubs — offering telehealth visits, chronic disease monitoring via apps, and even wearable device sales. In this episode, Lucas and Luna dig into how the biggest retail pharmacy chains are using software and partnerships to capture a bigger share of the healthcare dollar. They focus on CVS's 2024 launch of a virtual primary care platform and the ripple effects on insurers and independent pharmacists. If you've ever wondered why your pharmacy seems to be pushing a health app at checkout, this episode explains the strategy behind it — and what it means for patient privacy and competition. #CVS #Walgreens #RiteAid #Telehealth #DigitalHealth #Pharmacy #VirtualCare #HealthTech #RetailPharmacy #PrimaryCare #ChronicDisease #Wearables #HealthApps #Business #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #DigitalHealthPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
