Community pharmacies have long been the unsung backbone of healthcare. They hand you prescriptions, ring up a flu shot, maybe remind you to check your dosage. But the truth is, they’ve been boxed into a retail model while the rest of healthcare moved on. MedMe Health decided enough was enough. If pharmacies are everywhere, then they should be delivering more than meds, they should be delivering care. And now, the data backs it up.
Founded in 2019, MedMe Health is the creation of Purya Sarmadi, Nicholas Hui, and Rui Su. Each founder brought a critical piece to the puzzle. Sarmadi, a health informatics specialist, knew how broken legacy systems really were. Hui, an engineer who honed his product skills at Tesla, John Deere, and Nestlé, knew how to build scalable solutions. Su, a pharmacist-turned-entrepreneur, saw firsthand how pharmacists were underutilized and how patient care could be transformed if barriers were removed. Together, they built a platform that does what pharmacy systems never could: seamlessly schedule, document, and bill for clinical services, vaccinations, chronic disease management, prescribing, testing, while letting AI handle the admin. Their Clinical Assistant transcribes and autofills in real time, while Patient Concierge automates outreach, follow-ups, and refills. It’s not just software. It’s pharmacy reimagined.
The results are undeniable. MedMe Health has powered more than 25 million patient services across over 4,500 pharmacies in Canada and the U.S. During COVID, the platform enabled more than 2.22 million vaccine doses and 544,000 flu shots. National chains like Rexall, Shoppers Drug Mart, Guardian, Pharmasave, London Drugs, and IDA have all adopted it, not for hype, but because it works. That kind of trust doesn’t come easy in healthcare tech.
And now, MedMe Health is turning the corner from proof to scale. The company just secured a growth-focused credit facility from CIBC Innovation Banking. Terms are undisclosed, but the mission is clear: fuel U.S. expansion, extend billing infrastructure so pharmacists are properly reimbursed for care, and push the AI roadmap even further. With North America’s pharmacy clinical services market estimated at $20 billion annually, this is more than a financing announcement, it’s a signal. Pharmacies aren’t side players anymore. They’re becoming accessible healthcare hubs, and MedMe Health is building the rails to make it happen.
It’s no accident the company’s co-founders Nicholas Hui and Rui Su landed on Forbes 30 Under 30 in Healthcare. MedMe Health isn’t just chasing growth, it’s carving out the future of frontline care, one appointment at a time. When accessibility and scale meet technology, that’s where transformation happens. And MedMe Health is making sure your neighborhood pharmacy is ready for it.
