Telehealth company Ro launched a new online tracker to help patients find popular weight loss and diabetes drugs called GLP-1s. These drugs have faced shortages in the US. Demand has outpaced manufacturers' ability to scale up production. Ro's Supply Tracker provides real-time data on drug availability, dose size, and pharmacy location to help more people access treatments. Notifications help users find pharmacies with supplies and request prescription transfers. The data may also help the FDA keep shortage lists updated.
