AI is Fueling the Future of Pharmacy

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize and transform the field of pharmacy by improving efficiency, accuracy, and patient outcomes. In this systematic literature review, the researcher aims to assess latent research on the use of AI in pharmacy, identify key trends and challenges, highlight potential areas for future research, and evaluate the evidence on AI in fueling the future of pharmacy. A total of 15 studies were incorporated into the evaluation, and the results suggest that AI can improve pharmacy practice by increasing efficiency, accuracy, and patient safety. However, using AI in pharmacy also raises concerns about potential biases, ethical implications, and the need for adequate training and supervision.
