Ownum

ownum is a company geared towards raising awareness of problems related to medicine usage. our company formed shortly after an unfortunate incident involving one of our founders and his medication, followed by the death of a close family member due to medication mismanagement. our founders were further influenced by a report recently published by ims health, which states that avoidable costs of more than $200 billion are incurred each year by the u.s. healthcare system as a result of medicine misuse; this cost swells to $500 billion incurred by the global healthcare system. today, our goal is to use technology to improve accountability regarding medicine distribution and management and to create solutions that are simple for medicine users. in so doing, we will also provide real-time information for healthcare professionals.
