e-Prescribing integration
Photon Health integration for telehealth
Modern, API-first e-prescribing for digital health.
Photon Health is a developer-friendly e-prescribing platform built for digital health. Turbopills connects to Photon so providers prescribe from approved orders and patients pick their pharmacy, with a clean prescribing experience and status flowing back to your workflow.
What is Photon Health?
Photon Health is an API-first e-prescribing service with Surescripts connectivity and a patient-facing pharmacy selection experience, designed for modern telehealth and digital health builders.
