Rajive Patel is a British Pharmacist Entrepreneur. He is the director and founder of a Coulsdon based company Infohealth Ltd, which was founded in May 2000.[1].

Career and education

[edit]

He qualified as a pharmacist in 1996 and remained as a pharmacist until 2015.[2]

In 2020, Rajive Patel and Amazon were locked in a dispute over Infohealth Ltd's ownership of the Amazon Pharmacy domain. It was widely featured in the press.[3]

Infohealth Ltd operates three divisions namely Manufacturing, Retail Pharmacies and Health Technology. Infohealth Ltd was ranked 31st in the Sunday Times Virgin Fast Track 100 in 2005.[4] In 2010 Infohealth Ltd acquired Sanderson's Throat Specific Mixture and in 2018 acquired Hill's Balsam Cough Brand. Sanderson's Throat Mixture was a very popular brand and in 2016, when it was temporarily unavailable, it resulted in some retailers charging extortionate prices.[5]

In 2021, Infohealth Ltd acquired the Telehealth assets and brands from Now Healthcare Group. Rajive Patel was instrumental in merging the assets of Quin Technology into NowPatient following an acquisition in 2022[6]. This acquisition would allow NowPatient to offer diabetic users access to a "patterns" feature that helps users understand how their blood sugar usually reacts to factors such as food types, insulin and activity. This makes understanding blood sugar spikes effortless. It allows for the recording of food, insulin and activity. Infohealth Ltd spent several years redeveloping, integrating further product acquisitions and then relaunching NowPatient in 2024 in the United Kingdom and United States. NowPatient is a fully integrated telemedicine solution which provides unique features, such as an AI symptom checker, video consultations and other health prognostic tools to help monitor users' health and make target interventions based on individual health risks. The NowPatient platform provides pharmacy clinical services at scale. As well as offering virtual health services, it offers Rx patient assistance for individuals who are uninsured, underinsured or insured but unable to afford copays in the US.
