Reinventing Pharmacy Operations
Rural pharmacy management is plagued by stockouts, expiry waste, counterfeit drugs, and manual dispensing errors — directly impacting patient safety and treatment outcomes. RackIQ addresses all of these simultaneously with an integrated AI-hardware-software solution protected by two patents.
Core Technology
-
Multi-Cartridge Automated Dispensation (Patented)
AI-driven robotic dispensing across multiple drug cartridges — eliminating manual dispensing errors and enabling precise, consistent dosing at every transaction.
-
Real-Time Inventory Intelligence
ML-driven demand forecasting, automatic reorder triggers, and network-level inventory optimisation across all PillIQ locations.
-
Cold Chain Integrity Monitoring
IoT sensors tracking temperature, humidity, and storage conditions throughout the supply chain with instant alerts on any deviation.
-
Anti-Counterfeiting Layer
Drug authentication using serialisation, QR verification, and supplier validation at the point of dispensing.
-
Expiry Management
Automated FEFO (First Expiry First Out) dispensing with proactive alerts for near-expiry stock redistribution across the network.
-
Prescription Integration
Direct interfacing with Dr. Ana and MedUnited HIMS for e-prescription fulfilment and patient medication history tracking.
Market Opportunity
India's pharmacy automation market is nascent — over 95% of 950,000+ retail pharmacies still operate entirely manually. RackIQ is designed for affordable deployment in hub pharmacies, government health centres, and eventually individual spoke pharmacies, with a licensing pathway for global markets.
The foundational patent (Automated Inventory Management and Dispensation System for Medical Consumables) and the AI Driven Multi-Cartridge Dispensing Device patent together cover the core hardware-software stack, creating strong IP protection across the system.
Business Model
RackIQ generates revenue through hardware sales and lease, SaaS subscription for inventory intelligence, and a per-dispensation licensing model for high-volume deployments. The system also creates a closed-loop prescription fulfilment channel within the Four Healths network — improving treatment adherence and enabling pharmacy benefit management.
