This isn’t our first time making Fast Company’s Innovation by Design Awards list, either. Our Santa Monica headquarters was an honorable mention in 2021.
Our COVID-19 Antiviral Pill Tracker was born just days after the FDA approval of the antiviral treatments Paxlovid and Lagevrio. Knowing that supplies would be extremely limited, we created a centralized resource to track availability of the antiviral treatments.
With the help of our engineering team, we pulled available data from healthdata.gov into an easy-to-digest tracker. It showed the availability of both treatments by location and the number of doses on site. A small and dedicated team of GoodRxers put the tracker together in just 3 days.
In a challenging time, we’re proud to have been able to help consumers find information they can trust and to be recognized by Fast Company!
