Custom Health Acquires PatchRx to Expand Connected Medication Management

Custom Health is excited to announce the acquisition of PatchRx, integrating its patented PatchCap smart pill bottle cap technology into our AdhereNet® platform. The future of outcomes-driven medication programs lies in connectivity and data interoperability—not just getting medications to patients, but ensuring they are taken as prescribed, monitoring their impact, and adapting treatment to achieve the best possible outcomes.

PatchRx’s technology transforms ordinary vials into connected vials—making them traceable and trackable, enhancing monitoring, and supporting the safe use of medications in vials. Integrating PatchRx technology into our AdhereNet® platform extends monitoring capabilities to prescription vials, allowing us to track adherence in real time and take swift action to support patients and improve outcomes.

As part of the transaction, Custom Health is welcoming the entire PatchRx team, including co-founders Andrew Aertker and Gavin Buchanan, along with key team members in sales, engineering, and finance. Together, we're delivering more than technology—we're delivering better health.

The PatchCap technology is exceptionally valuable when used to monitor patients taking pain medications, in particular when opioids are prescribed for as-needed use to treat breakthrough pain. This transaction with PatchRx supports and advances Custom Health’s strategic focus on the significant market opportunity and pressing need in pain management.

Shane Bishop, CEO of Custom Health

Our goal at PatchRx has always been to give providers visibility into medication adherence where they previously had none. By joining Custom Health, that visibility becomes part of the end-to-end care process at nationwide scale.
