Walgreens leverages Challenged app to focus social conversation

Walgreens is unrolling a new wave of mobile offerings, including a collaboration with social competition application Challenged, an Apple Watch app with Pill and Refill Reminder features and the integration of its loyalty platform with Apple Pay.

Fans of beauty products will likely want to partake in the Walmart Beauty Challenge this season, which requires users of the Challenged app to aggregate their best summer beauty tips in a 12-second video using specified products carried at Walgreens stores. Health-conscious consumers may appreciate the pharmacy brand’s new Apple Watch app, as well as its rollout of the Balance Rewards program within Apple Pay this coming fall.

“We believe that providing our customers with a Walgreens Apple Watch app will help improve medication adherence,” said Kartik Subramanian, director of product and program management, mobile commerce, Walgreens, Deerfield, IL. “Using the Walgreens Watch app's intuitive interface, our customers can easily check on their medication regimens and manage the same.

“In addition, our customers will also get relevant and timely notifications on their Watch app when their prescriptions are due for a refill. These features will make it even more convenient for our customers to engage with Walgreens digital services.”
