Today it seems almost unimaginable to wait days or weeks for results from a blood test, but that was the case only a few decades ago. Automated equipment, portable devices and medical innovation have underscored a healthcare evolution that allows for faster diagnoses and subsequent treatment to improve patient outcomes. Innovation remains at the heart of healthcare, keeping up with the times as doctors, patients and insurance companies now expect near-instant results that detect disease at earlier and earlier stages, sometimes even before symptoms present.
Early detection and screening have been proven to save lives and billions of dollars, lending to the rise of point-of-care testing (POCT), a nascent industry seeing exciting potential. POCT is the wheelhouse for Avricore Health Inc. (TSX.V: AVCR) (OTCQB: AVCRF), whose turnkey POCT-solution-branded HealthTab(TM) delivers real-time results, with the new technology currently being evaluated at leading pharmacies in Canada with North American expansion planned for the future.

Insurers, healthcare providers, life sciences companies and governments are challenged with rising costs and inconsistent outcomes. This wends way to demand for real-world evidence to play a bigger role in study and monitoring because it is more accurate and is more cost efficient. Furthermore, there is a paradigm shift ongoing in healthcare related to the patient mentality: younger generations are no longer passive about their health journey, becoming increasingly proactive and expecting data-driven care.
And then there are pharmacies, which are under pressure from all angles — regulators, competition and industry — and need to generate additional revenue, which points squarely at adding services catering to the above market drivers. That’s where Avricore Health Inc. (TSX.V: AVCR) (OTCQB: AVCRF) specializes, as a pharmacy service innovator focused on acquiring and developing early-stage technologies aimed at moving pharmacy forward. The Vancouver-based company’s wholly owned HealthTab(TM) subsidiary is commercializing an eponymous product that is unlike anything in pharmacies today. The solution is part of AVCR’s mission to make actionable health information more accessible to all by creating the world’s largest network of rapid-testing devices in community pharmacies.

HEALTHTAB™ EXPANDS TO BRITISH COLUMBIA IN SELECT SHOPPERS DRUG MART® LOCATIONS
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – October 26, 2021 – AVRICORE HEALTH INC. (TSXV: AVCR) (the “Company” or “AVCR”) announces that it has expanded patient testing with the HealthTab™ platform in select Shoppers Drug Mart® pharmacies in British Columbia, bringing its diabetes screening program to Western Canada for the first time.
“The launch in Shoppers Drug Mart pharmacies in Ontario has been very successful and we are very happy to see the program lay the groundwork for expansion,” said Hector Bremner, Avricore Health’s CEO. “Having a real-time patient observation program reporting seamlessly across 3000kms is very unique and we are very proud to deliver this innovation.”
This expansion builds off the Master Agreement signed with Shoppers Drug Mart Inc. to pilot the HealthTab™ platform in May of this year which brings patients access to point-of-care blood screening and health-data management for potential risks for developing diabetes and cardiovascular conditions through the HealthTab™-integrated Afinion 2™ analyzers by Abbott Rapid Diagnostics.
“Patient feedback, along with that of our pharmacists, has been very positive in Ontario with respect to HealthTab™ and we are evaluating how more patients can benefit from this type of service,” said Frank Hack, Director of Complex Care at Shoppers Drug Mart. “In coming to British Columbia, we are hoping to learn more about patient needs and serve them in the best way possible.”
Shoppers Drug Mart® pharmacies in five cities have now received their HealthTab™ systems and will begin offering screening tests to patients with known conditions associated with pre-diabetes, or already identified as diabetic, to provide diagnostic support and pharmacist-led consultation services. They are located at:
| ● | #5 Road & Cambie: 11800 Cambie Rd, Richmond, BC | |
| ● | Kensington Square: 6508 East Hastings St, Burnaby, BC | |
| ● | Thurlow & Davie: 1125 Davie St, Vancouver, BC | |
