Does anyone have experience with APPS for prescription cards?

As originally asked by Richard Fuchs

Hi Richard,
I’ve built apps, both device and web-based for mobile. What you are looking for is a customer tracking and usage app that gives the user focused discounts. You need the app for the front-end and a database and web code on the back-end. The app will query the customer’s profile upon startup and then push those non-redeemed coupons for the selected time period. The coupon should have a QR code for the store to use in scanning and granting the discount. You can elect to show/hide these discounts based on the time period. You’ll also want to ensure that you use the LEAST amount of transactional code and proprietary coding on device platforms. Frameworks like PhoneGap offer you the ability to offload most of your processing and transactional needs to your web server and serve as a shell that can be replicated across iOS, Android, Windows, even Kindle.
As far as success, we built a web-based app that is still used for device implants, but the real barrier to success is the ability for the end sales merchant to deliver the discount using a phone – not everyone has a POS that can scan a phone.

I was confused … capitalizing “apps” had me wondering what the acronym stood for.

Hi: Appreciate your questions. I’m trying to determine the interest level and also the success of anyone who has used an APP to fill a prescription and were the prescriptions discounted at the point of sale. The Prescription APP would not be insurance but would be a discount APP offering X percentage discount at the point of sale. Hope this answers the questions. Richard

I have a background in medical device software development. It might be relevant in what you are trying to accomplish. I assume the end user is the consumer, is that correct?
