("MedPal AI" or the "Company")
MedPal App: AI Integration with MedPal Clinic
UK-First: AI-Powered Health App to Pharmacy Integration
MedPal AI (AIM: MPAL), a UK-based digital health and artificial intelligence
("AI") company, is pleased to announce the launch of what the Directors
believe to be a UK-first: direct AI integration between a consumer health app
and a regulated pharmacy, enabling intelligent, personalised clinical pathways
for [health and] weight management.
MedPal app and MedPal Clinic Integration
Further to the Company's announcement of a significant update to the MedPal
app on 8 December 2025, the board is pleased to announce a further
development. The MedPal app's AI now analyses aggregated user health data,
including body mass index ("BMI"), to identify individuals who may benefit
from clinically supervised weight management and GLP-1 treatments or other
supplements or medicines that can be obtained via the Company's online MedPal
Clinic. The Company believes it is the first to offer this level of AI
integration between a pharmacy and a health and wellness app.
Intelligent Targeting
The AI identifies key indicators including slow or blocked metabolism, weight
loss goals, and hunger control concerns. Crucially, the system only suggests
GLP-1 assessment pathways to users whose BMI qualifies them for clinical
evaluation, ensuring responsible, targeted healthcare rather than blanket
advertising.
The Company intends to expand this intelligent targeting to include all
medications that can be prescribed and dispensed at MedPal Pharmacy, including
the full range of men's and women's health medications that an Independent
Prescriber can prescribe under the Electronic Prescription Drug Guidance
("ePDG") regulations in the UK.
Seamless Deployment
The enhancement deploys entirely through the AI backend, requiring no app
update. Eligible users receive a direct pathway to MedPal Clinic's assessment
page with a 30% introductory discount (code: MEDPALAPP). MedPal Clinic can
also become the user's designated pharmacy for any other private or NHS
prescriptions, offering fast and flexible fulfilment through its state of the
art, automated 24/7 distribution centre and rapid nationwide delivery.
Revenue Driver
This integration demonstrates the Company's dual-engine model in action: the
AI-driven wellness app generating demand whilst the regulated pharmacy
services fulfil clinical needs. By leveraging aggregated health data to
provide personalised pathways, MedPal AI continues to differentiate itself in
the rapidly expanding UK weight management and pharmaceutical market.
Jason Drummond, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"We believe that this is a UK-first and that no other pharmacy has this depth
of AI integration with a health app. Our system doesn't just advertise health
supplements and weight loss treatments; it understands each user's health
profile and only connects those who clinically qualify with our GLP-1
prescribing services. This is the future of personalised healthcare, and
MedPal is leading it."
