VANC CONTRACTS WITH LAMPYON TO EXTEND ITS COROZON EDUCATIONAL AND ECOMMERCE PLATFORM WITH MEDICAL CANNABIS EDUCATION AND NEW SALES CAPABILITIES
Vanc Pharmaceuticals Inc. has contracted Lampyon Canada Inc. to extend Vanc's proprietary education and e-commerce portal, the Corozon platform, with medical cannabis education and new sales capabilities.
Corozon platform, which is derived from the Latin word for heart, is designed to be the central educational and e-commerce component of modern community pharmacies. It is currently focused on providing education on point-of-care testing and the ordering of these tests through its e-commerce store.
Lampyon will produce a series of new modules for "Corozon Academy," the educational section of the platform, aimed at teaching community pharmacists about the endocannabinoid system, endocannabinoid enhancers and medical cannabis. The new educational modules, created in collaboration with internationally recognized pharmacists and based on scientific principles, will be one of the first of their kind to educate community pharmacists on medical cannabis in Canada.
The modules will focus on the key medical and business facets of medical cannabis that will be important to community pharmacists. The modules will be divided into four principal segments with various modules focused on basic scientific information on the endocannabinoid system and cannabis, medical facets of cannabis, cannabis use in conjunction with modern pharmaceutical medicines and consulting with the medical cannabis user.
The current e-commerce section of the platform, "Hardware," will be developed into "Corozon Store," introducing new sales capabilities in anticipation of the launch of future products.
These changes will provide access to an expanded scope of information and will enable pharmacists to order a wider range of products and supplies easily and efficiently through the platform, driving revenues.
Bob Rai said: "Our relationship with Emerald Health has reinforced the importance of this emerging area to community pharmacy. Eventually, all community pharmacies will have to address questions related to cannabis from patients or possibly even prescribe medical cannabis. The Corozon platform positions us to be a key participant in this emerging area in community pharmacy."
United Pharma Group, a network of 130 pharmacies across Canada, is an early adopter of the Corozon platform and will be the first to have access to the cannabis modules. Sherif Guorgui, chief executive officer of United Pharma Group, said: "We are delighted that this exciting initiative is coming to the Corozon platform. Our members and their pharmacy teams will be the first to benefit from access to information about medicinal and recreational cannabis developed specifically for community pharmacy."
The legalization of cannabis will have a major impact on community pharmacy as consumers and patients will seek advice from pharmacists. The Corozon platform, as one of Vanc's core pillars in its new business model, will service community pharmacists with their education and e-commerce needs in this emerging and exciting new business area.
