Abstract

The usage of digital technologies in pharmacy practise and education, along with the 2019 coronavirus disease outbreak, provide pharmacists with their greatest difficulties in the profession's history. The use of digital technologies for pharmaceutical care and pharmacy education has considerably risen globally and will be included into patient care and the teaching-learning process, respectively. The use of technology in healthcare has resulted in significant adjustments to how healthcare workers approach patient care. The field of digital health has given chemists new chances to involve patients in clinical practise. This article identifies key facets of digital health that chemists should be aware of, particularly in relation to areas like illness management and drug adherence. Web-based therapies and mobile apps had generally good effects, whereas the effects of telephone-based interventions on patients' outcomes were clearly mixed. The cost-effectiveness of digital therapies hasn't received much attention in studies up to this point. Pharmacies and companies are using these technologies into their operations and practises more frequently.
