Cabinet Health Cuts Costs and Secures Patient Data with VioletX

Cabinet Health is transforming the future of sustainable healthcare. Their innovative refillable medicine system replaces single-use plastic with environmentally friendly wood cellulose and glass jars, helping reduce the staggering 195 billion plastic bottles produced annually, of which only 3–5% are recycled. As microplastics increasingly infiltrate human lungs, hearts, and bloodstreams, Cabinet Health’s mission to create a cleaner, healthier future has never been more critical.

The Challenge

As Cabinet Health expanded its prescription business, protecting sensitive patient health data became a top priority. They needed a trusted partner to secure and streamline access to their AWS infrastructure, ensuring rigorous protection of prescription data while maintaining a seamless, user-friendly refill experience for customers.

In addition to security, Cabinet Health wanted to explore opportunities to reduce infrastructure costs and improve the efficiency of their cloud environment—without disrupting engineering workflows.
