# Getting Started

Photon is designed to simplify prescribing workflows and manage pharmacy fulfillment. Our goal is to make it easier for digital-health organizations to build great patient experiences.

If you're ready to get started with Photon or have questions about an integration, don't hesitate to [book time](https://calendly.com/arun-photon/30min) or [reach out](mailto:sales@photon.health)! We're always happy to provide support or discuss specific use-cases beyond what's documented here.

## Sandbox Access

Our sandbox environment, called **Neutron**, makes it easy to develop and test prescribing integrations in a non-production setting. Our sandbox works exactly like production (except the send prescription to pharmacy thing).

Once you're setup, you can use the [Neutron App](https://app.neutron.health) test prescribing workflows, configure API Keys and webhooks, or access organization settings.

## Production Access

Once you're ready for production you can <Anchor target="_blank" href="https://photonhealth.com/onboard#clinic">request an account</Anchor> or [email sales](mailto:sales@photon.health) to discuss your use case with our sales team.
