Pelebox is a digital platform that manages various internet enabled smart lockers. Pelebox smart lockers enable patients to collect their repeat chronic medication in under two minutes instead of waiting hours queuing at public clinics.
It’s a social innovation that leverages the power of technology to improve service delivery and truly offer patient centric service
Pelebox smart lockers can be placed at various locations such as shopping malls commuter nodes or at partner retail outlets. They represent alternative ways of reaching patients, thus ensuring that core clinic resources can now focus on patient interface rather than spend time on dispensing.
Pelebox smart lockers work in a setting where a national health ministry needs to reach more people but is limited by the number of traditional healthcare facilities, staff shortages and higher patient volumes.
How it works?
- A patient is enrolled into the local clinic’s collection program.
- They are issued with a 6 month prescription for chronic medication.
- Pre packaged medication is loaded into the pelebox smart locker.
- The system sends a patient an OTP (one-time-pin) via SMS.
-
The patient arrives to collect medication at their self-service pelebox smart locker.
- Enters their cellphone number together with their OTP for confirmation.
- A cubicle with their medication opens for collection.
