Abstract

AI technology has been identified for analysing as well as interpreting some important fields of pharmacy like drug discovery, dosage form designing, poly-pharmacology, and hospital pharmacy. Given the growing importance of AI, to create a comprehensive report it is necessary which helps every practicing pharmacist understand the biggest breakthroughs which are assisted by the deployment of this field. AI has come a long way in healthcare, having played significant roles in data and information storage and management – such as patient medical histories, medicine stocks, sale records, and so on; automated machines; software and computer applications like diagnostic tools such as MRI radiation technology, CT diagnosis and many more have all been created to aid and simplify healthcare measures. Inarguably, AI has revolutionized healthcare to be more effective and efficient and the pharmacy sector is not left out. This article aims to address the potential of AI in revolutionizing pharmacy practice. It explores the current state of AI applications in pharmacy, identify the gaps and challenges and suggest possible strategies for integrating AI tools into everyday practice, thereby propelling the pharmacy sector into a new era of personalized and efficient healthcare.
