Entourage Health Corp. (OTCQX:ETRGF) (TSXV:ENTG) (FSE:4WE), a Canadian producer and distributor of cannabis products is expanding its Starseed Medicinal offerings and services as it partners with HelloMD, a leading online cannabis telehealth company, to expand patient access to experienced and knowledgeable healthcare practitioners across Canada. With its Starseed patient base growing over 50% since merging under the Entourage family in late 2019, the company has expanded partnerships with unions, employers, insurers and benefit providers which has seen a surge in patient registrations.
Additionally, Starseed debuted a digital patient treatment plan as a set of core offerings available to registered patients looking for tailored products along with practical dosing guidelines based on recommendations from a health care practitioner.
The company’s professional network of practitioners now specialize in developing personalized patient treatment plans, a standardized and simplified dosing tool, designed to improve medical cannabis access and overall patient experience. Further, Starseed recently collaborated with patients to develop the Starseed 2.0 system, a more accurate method for determining cannabinoid profiles - 1 star for high CBD, 2 stars for balanced, and 3 stars for high THC.
“As a team of health care professionals providing medical cannabis guidance, we are committed to offering medical pathways and patient-centric services through technology, innovation, and education to ensure safe and effective use," stated Sara Ryan, director of medical education, Starseed Medicinal. “Currently, opioids are being overused despite their well-known harm, while patients are often conflicted about safe treatment options. Medical cannabis could be considered an alternative, providing patients with a novel therapeutic option. Empowering patients and health care practitioners with education and resource tools for alternate treatments will help us close this knowledge gap as more people add medical cannabis to their daily self-care regimes.”
Patients and their providers can access the virtual resource and education platform via the Starseed Blog and Product Guide, which is also accessible to the cannabis community looking for expanded medical cannabis information. Starseed’s comprehensive education and support services could connect visitors with healthcare professionals and/or provide best-in-class education resources keeping patients informed and up-to-date. Available information varies from cannabis news and research treatment options, to support channels.
Starseed’s direct-to-patient medical marketplace currently offers over 45 products, including cannabis-infused soft chews, transdermal patches, compounds (balms), oils, capsules, vapes, and dried flower products, including a new high-THC cultivar reserve (15g). The company recently partnered with Pineapple Express to provide same-day/next day delivery as an additional convenience to patients residing within select areas in Ontario.
