About RxGuardian:

RxGuardian's mission is to create a new standard of care where potentially harmful medications and other substances are stored safely and securely in the home, just as they are at every other point of the supply chain. We develop, manufacture, and commercialize cost-effective medication safe storage devices designed to help reduce misuse, abuse, and accidental poisoning from medications in the home. With our products distributed within 5 miles of 70% of all households in the U.S. through large pharmacy chains such as Walgreens and CVS, we are looking to further increase patient access to medication safe storage devices through health plan reimbursement.

About TAGCarts®:

TAGCarts® is on a mission to redesign the medical cart. Today's hospital medical and workstation cart ecosystem is broken and antiquated costing all stakeholders in healthcare (patients, nursing, and hospitals). Technology aimed to elevate patient care has created a convoluted environment of care filled with plugs, cords, batteries, and on-cart power "Fuel gauges" distracting nurses and physicians, and negatively impacting workflow and patient care. Additionally while todays medical carts still function in a utility sense, designs are decades old and materials are less than desirable, leaving nurses longing to embrace a modern 21st century cart, company, and brand.
