Sometimes it’s hard to remember to take prescribed medicine. RxAnte aims to change that. The company develops technology to help remind patients to take medications. And a few weeks ago, RxAnte received a $4.6 million investment. The investment came from Aberdare Ventures and West Health Investment.
According to BizJournals.com, RxAnte’s “technology can predict which patients are likely to stray from their scheduled drug-taking schedules, and what interventions are likely to be most effective.” This funding will help the company continue creating new technology and introducing them to the market
