Fast Company World Changing Ideas: Health Finalists

Fast Company’s World Changing Ideas Awards honor the businesses, policies, projects and concepts that are actively engaged and deeply committed to pursuing innovation when it comes to solving health and climate crises, social injustice or economic inequality. Among the 2021 finalists is RemediChain – a Memphis-based company with a technological solution to the decades-old problems of prescription waste and financial barriers for patients.

Memphis Magazine: Innovation Awards

The annual Innovation Awards acknowledge work that goes above and beyond improving on an existing process or product. They seek an approach that provides more than an incremental advance or a logical next step. They want to find something that solves a problem that nobody else has been able to effectively address, brings benefits to people who are otherwise ignored, fixes a vexing problem, or delivers solutions in a particularly fine way. The team at RemediChain was more than up to the task of providing an answer to a problem that begged to be solved.
