RxAll Inc. is a health information technology and big data startup company dedicated to addressing the issue of counterfeit medications by partnering with drug regulatory authorities and relevant stakeholders to enhance patient access to authentic, high-quality pharmaceuticals.
Founding history
Established on January 1, 2016, by Yale University - Yale School of Management alumni Adebayo Alonge, Amy Kao, and Wei Liu, RxAll Inc. has emerged as a significant contributor in the fight against illicit drug distribution in Kenya. The company’s mission was influenced by Alonge’s firsthand encounter with fake salbutamol tablets in Nigeria back in 2005.
Early challenges
In its initial phase, RxAll confronted financial difficulties and nearly depleted its funds by early 2017. During this period, the founding members managed daily operations while securing close to $1 million through a combination of grants and self-funded capital sourced from the Nigerian government, Yale’s entrepreneurial network, Merck, Villgro, among other collaborators.
RxScanner
RxScanner is a portable device created for both patients and drug regulators to authenticate medicines, streamline administrative tasks, improve documentation accuracy, and support legal actions against counterfeit producers. It is utilized by national food and drug administrations, healthcare facilities, pharmacies, and leading pharmaceutical corporations globally.
Utilizing AI-driven spectroscopy technology, the device examines the molecular composition of drugs to rapidly verify their legitimacy, thereby combating fatalities linked to counterfeit pharmaceuticals. RxScanner functions without internet connectivity and communicates results via a mobile application, making it ideal for use in hospitals, pharmacies, and regulatory bodies. Pilot programs have been conducted in Nigeria, Kenya, and India.
RxAll POS
RxAll POS is a pharmacy point-of-sale software solution designed specifically for emerging markets, facilitating comprehensive automation of pharmacy operations.
RxAll Delivered
RxAll Delivered offers an online platform that allows pharmacies and consumers to purchase verified medications with offline delivery options at wholesale rates. The service is active across prominent regions including East Africa (Kenya, Uganda), West Africa (Nigeria, Ghana), Southeast Asia (Myanmar, Malaysia, Singapore), as well as the Americas (Canada, United States, Colombia).
Award
In 2019, RxAll Inc. was honored with the BNP Paribas group deep tech award at Hello Tomorrow—a global competition celebrating technology innovators and entrepreneurs—receiving a €100,000 prize.
