This is Chris Redgrave for Zions Bank Speaking on Business.
Medicine in America is about more than just treating an illness or issue. It's about constant innovation, asking questions and seeking answers. The medical market now includes Kevin Taylor of Soul Medical, a medical marketing company. They take innovations they find and help bring them to the medical market.
Soul Medical is connected to a physician network where they go to test the effectiveness of the innovations they discover. These are medical industry advisors and professionals who understand what it takes to create a true win/win strategy for patients and physicians. Kevin says Soul Medical is about the individual, about listening and understanding to better serve them. There are plenty of products on the market that do their job, but personalized products can be even more effective.
One of Soul Medical's first products is Transdermal Pain Cream. It's a compounded pharmaceutical product where a pharmacist creates a customized, pain cream for each patient. Kevin says it provides a needed alternative to treating pain than oral and injectable medications. Not only can it treat pain at the site but it also decreases the incidence of drug interactions and other adverse effects on a person's system.
Since entering the market in early 2014, Soul Medical has been steadily gaining traction across the U.S. They're hoping to break into the narcotic prescription market that numbers around 300 million annually, 80 percent in the U.S. alone. Kevin has a reason for seeking alternatives to narcotic drugs. He's personally seen what happens to people when painkiller use goes too far. And he hopes the Transdermal Pain Cream is a viable alternative.
The Soul Medical line of products also includes medical devices and other compounded pharmaceuticals. Kevin says the goal now is to stay small and nimble so they can continue finding products that save the system money and explore how to bring new and efficient ideas to more people.
