STOCKHOLM, Sept. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Navamedic ASA (OSE: NAVA), a Nordic pharma company and reliable provider of high-quality products to hospitals and pharmacies, has partnered with Alex Therapeutics, a digital health provider of disease and drug companion apps, to aid in Parkinson's treatment management. The app will be developed by Alex Therapeutics to support patients on Flexilev®, a prescription treatment for Parkinson's disease.

The new companion app provides medication management support that addresses the specific needs and challenges of people living with Parkinson's disease. The app complements the next generation dose dispenser, OraFID®, containing Flexilev®, offering a unique combination to support patients to adhere to precise and individualized treatment regimens.

Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder associated with loss of motor skills and non-motor functions such as cognitive ability, which can make it difficult to manage treatments. Digital health tools provide an opportunity to support patients with functions such as reminders and treatment logs.

"We are excited to collaborate with Alex Therapeutics to enhance the lives of Parkinson's patients through the companion app. This partnership not only reflects our commitment to making the treatment more accessible and manageable, but also underscores our dedication to easing the burden that patients face in their day-to-day care," shares Kathrine Gamborg Andreassen, CEO of Navamedic.

CEO and Founder of Alex Therapeutics, John Drakenberg, states, "We are proud to partner with Navamedic to bring this tailored solution to the Parkinson's community. Our goal is to empower patients to manage their treatments effectively, for better symptom relief and improved quality of life."

The companion app is set to be launched in Sweden, Norway and Denmark in the coming year, with plans for further global expansion.
