A new chapter for everyday health
For years, pharmacies and healthcare retail have faced the same challenge: how to offer accessible, reliable care to people whose lives never stop.
Working hours, late-night emergencies, or busy schedules often make simple purchases — vitamins, skincare, pain relief, or baby care — a matter of timing rather than need.
Pharma&Go, founded by Catarina Dias, set out to change that.
A pharmacist with a passion for innovation, she envisioned a space where people could find everyday health and wellness products anytime, without queues, without waiting, and without compromise on safety or trust.
“We need to stretch our time to make our day work. And I can just come in, pick up whatever I need and go.” says Catarina, founder of Pharma&GO.
The challenge
When Glintt Life, the innovation brand of Glintt Global, partnered with Catarina Dias, the mission was ambitious: build a para-pharmacy that could operate fully autonomously — without cashiers, without closing, and without losing the essence of care.
That required balancing three imperatives:
- Compliance and privacy — ensuring strict adherence to healthcare retail regulations
- Convenience and precision — offering a frictionless, intuitive shopping journey
- Trust and safety — maintaining the human credibility pharmacies are built on
“We knew autonomy could only succeed if it respected the principles of health retail — reliability, privacy, and patient confidence,” explains João Paulo Cabecinha, Executive board member Glintt Global
