When Zoë Barry’s brother was diagnosed with severe epilepsy in 2010, her family struggled to get access to the rare medications that would treat his condition. Barry was devastated to learn that her family was not an exception to the rule but one of many faced with long delays in accessing specialty pharmaceuticals for ailing loved ones. She was determined to remedy the problem. Two years after her brother’s diagnosis, Barry founded ZappRx, a company that simplifies the process of ordering and filling specialty medication prescriptions.
