E-Commerce Apps for
Healthcare in Canada

What Companies Benefit from E-commerce development in Healthcare in Canada?

Here are the top 3 healthcare e-commerce options to consider:

1. Medical Equipment Manufacturers and Distributors

You can be a medical device reseller with both B2B, B2C and D2C business models involved or a manufacturer targeting end consumers. If you aim to reach and convert into clients corporates, together with at-home individuals, your marketplace needs to be designed with the needs of both groups in mind. For example, while, unlike individual clients, healthcare institutions usually don’t need guidance on which equipment to purchase, they appreciate dynamic pricing depending on the order volume. Individuals may like embedded customer support and personalization features.

2. Online Pharmacy

You can set up an independent online pharmacy or integrate it into your existing healthcare website, allowing patients to buy prescribed medicine over-the-counter or online. Convergine can help you to build an intuitive online drugstore that will meet provincial or territorial pharmacy regulations.

If you integrate an e-commerce pharmacy into your existing website, we will ensure that it works flawlessly with your CRM, CMS, patient portal, front-door office, and the entire IT infrastructure.

3. Healthcare Services Marketplace

• Telemedicine. Patients can find available telehealth services that providers offer. When integrating telehealth functionality, we will consider online booking and billing, as well as content management to ensure users can easily find a physician with the relevant expertise and knowledge. This is what was done for All Health Tests (link) when we integrated telehealth functionality based on Microsoft Teams platform
• Doctors’ Marketplace. This is a local e-commerce platform that patients can use to find the right healthcare specialists—either nearby or online. We will devote specific attention to doctors’ cards, so patients can get as much information about their experience, rating, and specialization as possible. We can also add your clinic’s geo-data, so patients can sort practitioners by location.
• Lab Tests Marketplace. This allows patients to easily find labs nearby. Besides content management and intuitive UX, Convergine can set up patient portals for users to easily access their personal data, purchase history, and billing details. We can even implement AI, which improves personalization by analyzing a patient’s personal data, medical history, and conditions.

Using an e-commerce site builder such as Shopify isn’t often enough to run an efficient and user-friendly e-commerce website that is up to the clients expectations. You will tremendously benefit from an experienced UI/UX designer to facilitate a user journey, custom web development services for healthcare to run a performant, speedy, and easy-to-update app, and other e-commerce development services Convergine is eager to offer you.
