A woman who's been called 'Doogie Howser' is building the pharmacy of the future, and it's like Uber for drugs

Going to a pharmacy isn't the most fun experience. You sometimes wait in line only to find out a pill your doctor prescribed you isn't ready for pick-up yet, costs a fortune, or isn't in stock.

Sonia Patel, a former pharmacy manager for Sam's Club and Eric Kinariwala, a former Bain Capital analyst, want to reimagine the experience.

On Tuesday morning, the pair launched Capsule, a startup that wants you to never visit a physical pharmacy, like Walgreens or CVS, again.

Instead, Capsule will deliver your pills to your home or office for you, kind of like hailing an Uber. Here's how it works.

• When your doctor asks which pharmacy you use, simply say "Capsule" instead of "CVS" or whichever other local pharmacy you visit.
• Unlike CVS, which has multiple locations and sells lots of things, Capsule only has one store per city, which you can choose to visit or not.
• Inside the Capsule's store, which it calls the hub, there are full-time pharmacists who fulfill orders and full-time couriers who deliver to your preferred address. Currently, Capsule only has a hub in New York City, on west 25th Street, but it delivers to all of New York City with the exception of Staten Island. Other cities will be launching soon.
• On Capsule's app, your insurance information automatically populates, or you can snap a photo of your insurance card if for some reason your information doesn't pop up.
• You can read information about your prescription - including how much it costs and how many doses to take - on the app. Then you can put the pills in your shopping cart and choose a delivery date, time, and address.
• If you have any questions, you can chat with a pharmacist on the app 24/7. Otherwise, your medicine will show up on your doorstep when you want it, within a two-hour window.

Capsule has been quietly working in stealth mode since last September, when Patel and Kinariwala formed the company and moved into the location on West 25th street.
