“We currently offer significant savings on over 6,000 name brand medical supplies. MedOfficeDirect offers the lowest price online for medical supplies due to direct fulfilment and low overhead savings that we pass on to our customers. We are excited that this new platform will allow us to develop strategic partnerships to greatly expand the number of customers we can serve," Dent said in a statement.
According to HealthLynked, the site includes improved search capabilities to create an improved shopping experience. The search function will make finding products easier and faster, with products now grouped by size, colour, type, manufacturer, price, and other technical characteristics.
Medical products such as needles and syringes – which are available in multiple sizes, types and gauges – can now be easily searched, filtered and grouped, it said.
The new version also allows for the creation of sub-sites that can be customized to feature specific products in preparation for planned future partnerships that will allow for co-branding and customization of products sold through the MedOfficeDirect platform.
Other technical improvements to the site include vendor-developed extensions for Amazon Pay and Braintree, a shipping estimator, and security enhancements to detect fraudulent transactions and restrict order processing for questionable orders, it added.
HealthLynked is a global healthcare network focused on care management of its members and a provider of healthcare technologies that connects doctors, patients, and medical data.
