The Cambridge, MA, company has been named No. 7 on the Fast Company magazine list of "World's 50 Most Innovative Companies." Sproxil points out that it ranked higher than Google, Amazon and Apple. It leads the publication's list of most innovative healthcare companies. As FierceBiotechIT has reported, companies like Merck ($MRK) and GlaxoSmithKline ($GSK) are using Sproxil's products so consumers can text message codes from the labels of their prescriptions to verify the authenticity of the drugs.
