Scottsdale, Arizona — February 28, 2018 — Sweetbridge, a non-profit that aims to transform supply chain and logistics management with blockchain technology, has today announced a strategic partnership with Natural Partners, a distributor and technology company supplying healthcare providers with nutritional supplements for their patients.

These important decisions need to continue to be reliable, convenient, and seamless. Our partnership with the Sweetbridge Foundation is the next step in building more integrity into the practitioner and patient interaction to advance wellness.”

The use of the Sweetbridge blockchain will transform the NP Script online platform into a highly secure means of distributing professional-grade supplements to healthcare providers. In addition, the innovative blockchain mechanism will provide healthcare providers and suppliers with valuable data-sharing capabilities without sacrificing patient privacy. The company currently services thousands of healthcare providers.
