CEO & Founder, Non-Rx Digital Storefront
About The Job
At least half of patient visits result in doctors recommending non-prescription products or services, but these recommendations are often given in a vague, untracked manner, such as a post-it note. This leaves patients burdened with researching critical health and wellness products on their own, with little assurance about quality or appropriateness. For healthcare providers, this fragmented process makes it difficult to monitor outcomes or ensure consistent quality, and organizations risk losing valuable referrals and revenue to external retailers.
Redesign Health is looking for a visionary Founder to lead Onyx, a new venture poised to transform this experience. Onyx is an innovative online platform that streamlines the patient journey from recommendation to doorstep, providing a seamless, trusted channel for non-Rx product purchases directly from their doctor’s recommendation.
Why now
- Consumer Appeal: Strong patient / consumer demand for non-Rx recommendations from their practitioners - but no structured platform to deliver such recommendations
- Cultural Shift for Providers: Whereas clinical providers have historically separated themselves from health & wellness, a rise in patient education has resulted in the bridging of these two silos
- Technological & Logistics Innovations: Onyx can blend proprietary software for product curation and quality monitoring, with off-the-shelf developments in consumer-facing storefronts and 3PL logistics
- Market Potential: Incumbents in the space have largely focused on complementary alternative medicine providers or veterinarians - leaving MDs and health systems largely untapped
- Mission Driven: Onyx envisions a future where world-class patient health integrates clinical services with quality non-Rx products, services and lifestyle recommendations to meaningfully improve patient health.
