It All Started With a Vision Ft. David Raistrick

Technology • Patient Outcomes
The idea for En-Vision America was born out of a family poker game. With vision impairment in the family, the Raistricks programmed a way to electronically tag playing cards and read the name of each card aloud through an earpiece. Today, this has evolved into a range of accessible products for pharmacies to better service their visually impaired patients. From text-to-speech options, to braille printed labels, and dual language translations, the ScriptAbility product line is changing lives for patients everywhere through increased accessibility and medication adherence.
