AI in online pharmacy apps? What seemed like a dream now is a reality!
Every time we hear the word Artificial Intelligence the only picture that comes to our mind is Tony Stark a.k.a Iron Man talking to J.A.R.V.I.S. which is quite entertaining.
But, we discovered it being used in real-time when our team first used it years ago in medicine delivery app development to find the most suitable and fastest drivers for delivery.
Pharmaceutical companies have been using Artificial Intelligence to find patients for clinical trials. Like running clinical trials for helping Alzihmers and ALS patients, and leveraging AI to treat rare diseases.
AI technology can immensely help pharmacists to improve the efficiency and speed of manual operational tasks– counting pills, ensuring patient adherence and safety- while maintaining proper inventory and staff, medicine verification.
And as for users or customers, AI can initiate image search saving the users time by searching for their desired product faster, cutting out incorrect drug usage, and auto prescription verification.
