Smartphone-Enabled Pill Dispensers: Impact on Compliance and Workflow
Medication nonadherence remains a persistent barrier to therapeutic effectiveness, leading to avoidable morbidity, readmissions, and waste across healthcare systems. Smartphone-enabled pill dispensers (S-PDs)—electronic adherence aids that pair automated dosing cues with app-based reminders, real-time logs, and bidirectional alerts—have emerged as a promising solution. This manuscript examines the dual impact of SPDs on (a) patient compliance and (b) pharmacy workflow, with attention to human factors, data governance, and sustainability of adoption. We propose and detail a mixed-methods evaluation framework combining a quasi-experimental effectiveness study with a time-motion workflow assessment and qualitative inquiry. The methodology includes pre/post measurement of adherence (proportion of days covered [PDC], medication possession ratio [MPR], missed-dose rate) and service metrics (dispensing cycle time, call-backs, intervention documentation, and alert resolution time). A pragmatic study protocol is presented for community and hospital outpatient settings, including eligibility, onboarding, device calibration, alert thresholds, escalation ladders, and privacy safeguards. Hypothetical but realistic results drawn from a sample of adult patients with chronic polypharmacy (n=420) illustrate an improvement in mean PDC from 0.74 to 0.86,a 29% reduction in missed doses, and a 22% reduction in unscheduled pharmacist call-backs after three months. Workflow analysis suggests a 14% increase in initial setup time per patient offset by a 19% decrease in ongoing exception management after stabilization, yielding net neutral labor by week six and improved documentation completeness. Qualitative themes include increased patient confidence, occasional alert fatigue, and the importance of customization (snooze windows, travel mode, low-vision interfaces). We conclude that S-PDs can meaningfully improve adherence and rationalize pharmacy activity when implemented with clear protocols, inclusive design, and data-driven governance. Future work should examine cost-effectiveness, long-term persistence, and integration with e-prescribing, payer incentives, and pharmacist-led care plans.
Integration of Digital Therapeutics into Community Pharmacy Practice
Digital therapeutics (DTx)—clinically evaluated software that delivers evidence-based interventions—are moving from early pilots to routine care. Community pharmacies, as the most frequently accessed point of care, are uniquely positioned to operationalize DTx for prevention, treatment, and longterm self-management across chronic and behavioral conditions. This manuscript synthesizes the conceptual foundations and policy context of DTx, reviews global and Indian developments, and proposes a pragmatic integration model for community pharmacies. A mixedmethods study protocol is outlined to evaluate clinical, human-factors, and economic impacts of pharmacyenabled DTx services, including training, workflow redesign, privacy-first onboarding, and longitudinal follow-up. The methodology incorporates a stepped-wedge cluster design, real-world use analytics, and patient-reported outcomes to capture effectiveness and implementation fidelity. Illustrative pilot results (hypothetical) demonstrate improved medication adherence (+9.8 percentage points), higher symptom control rates (risk ratio = 1.32), and a favorable incremental costeffectiveness ratio driven by reduced urgent visits. We conclude with a roadmap for scale-up: building pharmacist competencies, aligning with digital health data standards, embedding privacy-by-design practices, creating sustainable reimbursement models, and strengthening evidence to meet national and international frameworks. Community pharmacy–DTx integration can advance person-centered, equitable, and data-driven care if implemented with rigorous evaluation and responsible data stewardship.
Augmented Reality Tools for Pharmacy Education and Patient Counseling
Augmented Reality (AR) overlays digital information on to the physical world, creating immersive, context-rich learning and counseling experiences. In pharmacy, AR can compress the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world performance by visualizing mechanisms of action in 3D, guiding hands and eyes during device technique training (e.g., inhalers, insulin pens), and scaffolding stepwise counseling conversations at the point of care. This manuscript synthesizes the promise of AR for pharmacy education and patient counseling, proposes a rigorous mixed-methods evaluation framework, and demonstrates a full study protocol suitable for multi-site implementation in academic and community settings. We detail instructional design principles (worked examples, cognitive load management, deliberate practice, and feedback loops), content authoring pipelines, accessibility considerations, data governance, and implementation logistics. To illustrate how the analytics pipeline operates, we present model-based, synthetic pilot results that emulate a randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing an ARenhanced condition to standard training/counseling. The emulated results suggest meaningful improvements in knowledge retention (+18%), objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) performance (+12 points on a 100-point rubric), counseling quality scores (+0.6/5), patient inhaler and insulin technique accuracy (+22%), and short-term medication adherence (+11% absolute at 30 days), alongside reductions in time-to-competence (28%) and perceived cognitive load (-9 NASA-TLX points). We also report high usability (SUS 82) and positive acceptability among faculty, students, and patients. We conclude with guidance for scale-out, cost considerations, and a roadmap for future research on personalization, multilingual support, and integration with electronic health records (EHRs). (Note: quantitative findings in the Results section are from a synthetic dataset designed to validate the analysis plan and illustrate reporting; no human subjects data are included.)
Wearable Health Technology in Pharmacy-Led Remote Patient Monitoring
Background: Community and hospital pharmacists increasingly coordinate remote patient monitoring (RPM) programs that use wearable health technology to capture real-time physiological signals (e.g., heart rate, rhythm, blood pressure, glucose, oxygen saturation) and translate them into timely medication and lifestyle interventions. Despite rapid diffusion, questions remain about clinical effectiveness, workflow integration, equity, data quality, and privacy. Objective: To synthesize current knowledge on pharmacy-led RPM with wearables, propose a rigorous evaluation framework, and describe a pragmatic protocol that can be implemented in routine pharmacy practice to assess clinical, human-factors, and implementation outcomes. Methods: We outline a mixed-methods, clusterrandomized pragmatic trial comparing usual pharmacist care with a pharmacist-managed RPM service augmented by validated wearables and a rules-based alerting system. Adult patients with hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and/or heart failure are enrolled through participating pharmacies. Primary outcomes include mean change in systolic blood pressure (SBP), HbA1c, 30-day all-cause emergency department (ED) visits, and medication adherence (proportion of days covered, PDC). Secondary outcomes include patient activation, device usability, clinician workload, and equity indicators. Quantitative analyses use intention-to-treat mixed-effects models; qualitative analyses use thematic analysis of interviews and field notes. A detailed operating protocol covers recruitment, onboarding, calibration, alert thresholds, triage, documentation, data governance, and safety oversight. Results (illustrative): The protocol anticipates a clinically meaningful SBP reduction of ~5–7 mmHg, a 0.3–0.5% HbA1c decrease, a relative 15–25% reduction in 30-day ED visits for chronic-condition subsets, and a 6–10 percentage-point improvement in PDC, with high usability scores and acceptable pharmacist workload after a short learning curve. We also expect disparities to narrow when language-appropriate education and lowcost device options are offered. Conclusion: Pharmacy-led RPM with wearables is a feasible, safe, and potentially impactful model for chronic disease management. Success depends on device validation and calibration workflows, human-in-the-loop clinical triage, privacy-preserving data pipelines, reimbursement alignment, and attention to digital inclusion. The proposed methodology and protocol provide an actionable blueprint for real-world evaluation and scale-up.
Influence of Digital Marketing Strategies on Pharmacy Customer Engagement
The digital transformation of the pharmaceutical retail sector has redefined customer engagement through the adoption of innovative digital marketing strategies. This study explores how targeted digital marketing initiatives—including search engine optimization (SEO), content marketing, social media campaigns, email outreach, and personalized promotions—affect customer engagement levels in both physical and online pharmacy settings. Using a mixedmethods research approach, quantitative data from 425 pharmacy customers and qualitative insights from 15 pharmacy marketing managers were analyzed. The findings indicate that personalized campaigns and omnichannel integration significantly enhance customer loyalty, increase repeat purchases, and improve customer satisfaction scores. Social media engagement was found to be the most influential factor in attracting younger demographics, while email and loyalty program integration proved effective for older consumers. The study proposes a framework for pharmacy businesses to maximize digital engagement by aligning content relevance,communication frequency, and personalization with customer needs. This research contributes to the growing discourse on digital transformation in healthcare retail by offering evidence-based recommendations for sustainable customer engagement strategies.
Strategic Leadership for Hybrid Human–AI Workforce
The rapid adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming organizational structures by creating hybrid work environments in which human employees and intelligent systems collaborate to perform strategic and operational tasks. While existing research has extensively examined AI adoption, algorithmic management, human–AI collaboration, and ethical AI governance independently, limited attention has been given to the role of strategic leadership in orchestrating these interconnected dimensions within a unified workforce management framework. Current studies often emphasize technological implementation or workforce automation without providing comprehensive mechanisms for balancing human expertise, AI capabilities, organizational governance, and leadership-driven decision-making. To address this research gap, this paper proposes the Strategic Leadership Framework for Hybrid Human–AI Workforce Management (SL-HAI), an integrated model that combines strategic leadership evaluation, hybrid workforce capability assessment, AI governance, and intelligent task allocation to improve organizational effectiveness. The framework introduces a Hybrid Workforce Capability Index (HWCI) to quantify the combined strengths of human employees and AI systems, while a strategic leadership model guides decision-making using organizational vision, governance effectiveness, change management capability, and decision quality. A simulation-based quantitative methodology utilizing publicly available workforce and AI adoption datasets is employed to evaluate the proposed framework. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves superior organizational performance, workforce productivity, employee engagement, strategic agility, governance compliance, and decision quality compared with conventional workforce management strategies. The findings indicate that effective leadership is a critical enabler of successful human–AI collaboration, ensuring that intelligent automation enhances rather than replaces human capabilities. By integrating leadership strategy, responsible AI governance, and workforce optimization into a single decision framework, this research contributes a scalable and governance-aware model for managing next-generation hybrid organizations and provides practical guidance for enterprises pursuing sustainable AI-enabled digital transformation.

Usability of Pharmacy Mobile Apps for Medication Management
Mobile health (mHealth) technologies have transformed the way patients manage their medications, enabling greater adherence, better communication with pharmacists, and real-time monitoring of therapy progress. Pharmacy mobile apps are emerging as crucial tools that integrate prescription management, refill reminders, adverse effect reporting, and medication information databases. However, their usability—defined by ease of navigation, learnability, accessibility, and satisfaction—plays a decisive role in determining their effectiveness. This study examines the usability of pharmacy mobile applications for medication management by synthesizing literature, analyzing usability frameworks, and conducting a structured usability evaluation protocol. The research employs a mixed-methods approach combining heuristic evaluation, System Usability Scale (SUS) scoring, and patient interviews to assess factors influencing user adoption. Results reveal that high usability correlates strongly with medication adherence, reduced dispensing errors, and improved patient engagement. Key challenges include inconsistent interface design, limited integration with electronic health records (EHR), and inadequate accessibility features for elderly patients. Recommendations include applying user-centered design principles, incorporating AI-driven personalization, and ensuring compliance with privacy regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR. The findings provide actionable insights for developers, pharmacists, and healthcare policy makers aiming to improve mHealth interventions for medication management.
Deployment of In-Pharmacy Digital Health Kiosks for Chronic Disease Screening
Chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) account for a high and rising share of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Screening coverage remains uneven because traditional models rely on opportunistic testing during clinic visits, are constrained by staff availability, and are often inconvenient for working-age adults. Community pharmacies—high-footfall, extended-hours, neighborhood access points—are well placed to add screening capacity. This manuscript presents a comprehensive, practice-oriented framework for deploying digital health kiosks inside pharmacies to expand early detection of chronic disease risk. We synthesize evidence on pharmacy-based screening, describe a modular kiosk architecture (sensors, software, interoperability, privacy-by-design), and outline an implementation and evaluation methodology aligned with RE-AIM (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, Maintenance). To illustrate expected performance, we include results from a notional six-month pilot scenario constructed for demonstration: across 30 pharmacies, 15,240 adults completed kiosk screening; 62% were first-time screeners; 14.1% screened positive for probable hypertension, 7.3% for diabetes (HbA1c ≥6.5% or fasting capillary glucose thresholds), and 22.4% for dyslipidemia risk based on non-fasting lipid panels or total-cholesterol surrogates. Of those with positive screens, 71% completed confirmatory testing within 30 days when supported by automated referral and pharmacist follow-up. Mean screening time was 6.8 minutes, with a median queue time of 2.3 minutes. Estimated program cost was $8.70 per person screened and $64–$128 per new case confirmed, depending on condition. User satisfaction averaged 4.5/5, and pharmacies reported minimal workflow disruption after week three of rollout. We conclude that in-pharmacy digital kiosks can materially increase screening reach and timely detection when integrated with pharmacist counseling, consented data-sharing (HL7 FHIR), and structured referral pathways. Key enablers include multilingual UX, validated sensors, role-based access controls, and simple reimbursement models. Limitations include potential selection bias, false positives from single-visit measurements, and the need for robust device maintenance. Future work should include stepped-wedge trials with longer follow-up, health economic evaluations, and equity-focused design to close gaps for underserved groups.
Blockchain for Secure Sharing of Patient Medication Records Among Providers
The increasing digitization of healthcare systems has amplified the need for secure, interoperable, and transparent mechanisms to share patient medication records among providers. Conventional electronic health record (EHR) systems, while effective in centralized data storage, face challenges including fragmented record access, susceptibility to breaches, and lack of trust between stakeholders. Blockchain technology offers a decentralized, tamper-evident, and cryptographically secure framework that can enhance the privacy, integrity, and interoperability of medication records. This manuscript examines the application of blockchain for secure sharing of patient medication records, analyzing its advantages over conventional architectures, consensus mechanisms for healthcare data, and compliance with regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR. A literature review identifies emerging blockchain frameworks, highlighting their potential in enabling seamless data exchange between pharmacies, hospitals, and specialists while maintaining strict access control. The proposed methodology outlines a blockchain-based architecture integrating smart contracts, tokenized access rights, and encryption protocols for privacy preservation. Simulated results demonstrate improved data retrieval times, enhanced security metrics, and reduced reconciliation delays compared to traditional EHR networks. The study concludes that blockchain can serve as a transformative enabler of trust in multi-provider healthcare ecosystems, though considerations of scalability, governance, and interoperability standards remain critical for real-world adoption.
Mobile Health Applications for Medication Adherence Among Elderly Patients
Medication nonadherence among older adults is a persistent and costly challenge, contributing to disease progression, avoidable hospitalizations, and excess mortality. Mobile health (mHealth) applications—combining smartphones, wearables, and connected pill organizers—offer a scalable, patient-centered strategy to address complex adherence barriers such as polypharmacy, sensory and cognitive decline, transportation limitations, and fragmented care. This manuscript examines the promise and practical design of mHealth adherence tools for elderly patients, synthesizing current evidence and proposing a rigorous, ethics-aware protocol for a randomized, pragmatic trial in community and primary-care settings. We review behavioral and human-factors design principles (COM-B, Health Belief Model, self-determination theory), accessibility features (large fonts, high contrast, voice interfaces, offline mode), and clinical workflows (pharmacist counseling, medication synchronization, refill automation). Our methodology outlines a two-arm trial comparing a geriatric-optimized app—featuring adaptive reminders, simplified schedules, caregiver integration, side-effect triage, and pharmacist chat—against enhanced usual care with printed schedules and telephonic reminders. Primary outcomes include proportion of days covered (PDC) and Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) scores; secondary outcomes include disease-specific biomarkers, acute care utilization, and user experience metrics. The protocol details recruitment, randomization, blinding of outcome assessors, data governance, and a safety/alert algorithm for potential adverse drug events. We also present a mock analysis template illustrating interpretable result reporting (e.g., adjusted mean differences in PDC, number needed to treat for achieving PDC ≥80%). We argue that elderly-first mHealth design, embedded within pharmacist-led care pathways and supported by caregiver partnerships, can materially improve adherence while preserving autonomy and privacy. The proposed framework is intended to be practical, reproducible, and adaptable across resource contexts.
Telehealth Platform Integration in Rural Pharmacy Services
Rural pharmacies are trusted, hyperlocal health access points, yet they frequently operate with limited staff, constrained hours, and fragmented connectivity to the broader health system. Telehealth platforms—encompassing synchronous video consultation, asynchronous messaging, remote patient monitoring (RPM), and e-prescribing—offer a pragmatic pathway to extend the clinical reach of rural pharmacists and close gaps in chronic disease management, medication therapy management (MTM), and minor ailment triage. This manuscript proposes and details a comprehensive, implementation-ready framework for integrating a telehealth platform into rural pharmacy services. We synthesize the evidence base on telepharmacy and human-centered digital health design, articulate a socio-technical architecture suited to low-bandwidth environments, and outline a mixed-methods evaluation plan informed by implementation science (RE-AIM and CFIR). The study protocol covers governance, privacy and security, clinical workflows, training, device provisioning for RPM, data integration with pharmacy management systems (PMS) and electronic health records (EHRs), and a staged rollout using a stepped-wedge design. We define primary outcomes (medication adherence, disease-specific clinical markers, and avoidable urgent care utilization), secondary outcomes (patient-reported experience and health literacy), and implementation outcomes (acceptability, adoption, fidelity, cost). Anticipated benefits include more timely therapeutic interventions, improved adherence and control of chronic conditions, reduced travel burden for patients, and better documentation for continuity of care. Potential challenges include digital literacy barriers, regulatory heterogeneity, and reimbursement alignment. The manuscript concludes with actionable guidance to support safe, equitable, and sustainable telehealth operations in rural pharmacies.
Robotic Process Automation in Pharmacy Management and Inventory Control
Pharmacies operate under constant pressure to deliver safe, timely, and cost-effective services while maintaining strict regulatory compliance and resilient supply chains. Manual, repetitive back-office work—such as purchase order creation, invoice matching, stock reconciliation, expiry tracking, and dispensing documentation—consumes significant pharmacist time and is prone to error. Robotic Process Automation (RPA) offers a pragmatic pathway to streamline these high-volume, rule-based tasks without replacing core pharmacy information systems (PIS), hospital information systems (HIS), or enterprise resource planning (ERP) platforms. This manuscript examines the application of RPA across community, hospital, and specialty pharmacy contexts with a focus on inventory control. We synthesize current practices, propose a repeatable implementation methodology, and outline a detailed study protocol suitable for real-world evaluation. We present illustrative pilot results from a controlled simulation comparing pre- and post-RPA performance on key indicators: dispensing turnaround time, purchase-to-pay cycle time, stockout rate, data entry errors, inventory record accuracy, and expiry-related wastage. The simulated findings indicate substantial efficiency gains (e.g., 40–80% reduction in manual errors and 30–60% faster cycle times) while improving patient safety via enhanced data quality and proactive replenishment. We discuss governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) considerations including audit trails, validation, data privacy, human-in-the-loop exception handling, and change management. The proposed study protocol and methodology are designed to be vendor-agnostic and adaptable to pharmacies of varied digital maturity. Overall, RPA emerges as a practical complement to digital pharmacy initiatives—unlocking pharmacist time for clinical services, increasing inventory visibility, and reducing operating costs—provided implementations follow rigorous process discovery, quality assurance, and continuous improvement practices.
AI Chatbots for Mental Health Medication Management in Pharmacy Care
Medication non-adherence remains a stubborn driver of relapse, hospitalizations, and preventable costs in mental health care. Pharmacies—often the most frequent touchpoint in a patient’s care journey—are uniquely positioned to coordinate medication management, but capacity constraints limit the reach of human-delivered counseling. Advances in conversational artificial intelligence (AI) now enable pharmacy-embedded chatbots that can deliver psychoeducation, side-effect triage, refill support, and adherence nudges at scale, while keeping pharmacists “in the loop.” This manuscript synthesizes current evidence on mental-health chatbots, clarifies how pharmacy chatbots can be designed to complement clinical workflows, and proposes a pragmatic, pharmacy-centered trial protocol to evaluate impact on adherence and symptoms. The introduction outlines the global mental-health burden and the adherence gap; the literature review summarizes efficacy signals from randomized and observational chatbot studies and the expanding role of psychiatric pharmacists. The methodology details a mixed-methods randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing usual pharmacist care versus pharmacist-supervised AI chatbot augmentation across community and hospital pharmacies. The study protocol specifies eligibility, intervention content (adherence coaching, side-effect triage with safety escalation, and refill automation), data governance (HIPAA/GDPR-aligned), primary outcomes (Proportion of Days Covered, PHQ-9/GAD-7 change), and analysis plans. We include a feasibility “pilot illustration” using synthetic data to demonstrate the kinds of process and clinical improvements that are plausible and how to interpret them safely. We conclude that pharmacy-embedded chatbots, if designed with rigorous human oversight, privacy by design, and regulatory awareness (e.g., FDA CDS guidance; EU AI Act), could meaningfully extend the reach of mental-health medication management and free pharmacist time for high-complexity tasks. Future research should test long-term durability, equity impacts, and generalizability across diagnoses, languages, and health systems.

AI-Enabled Demand Forecasting for Over-the-Counter Drug Sales in Urban Pharmacies
Urban pharmacies operate in a high-velocity retail–health environment where short product life cycles, seasonal illness waves, and localized socioeconomic patterns make demand volatile—especially for over-the-counter (OTC) medicines such as analgesics, antipyretics, cough and cold preparations, antacids, and nutritional supplements. Traditional rule-of-thumb and spreadsheet forecasts often underperform during abrupt shifts (e.g., weather swings, school reopenings, pollution spikes, or festival seasons), causing stockouts, wastage from expiries, and revenue loss. This manuscript proposes a practical, end-to-end framework for AI-enabled demand forecasting tailored to urban pharmacies. The approach integrates point-of-sale (POS) histories with exogenous signals—calendar/holiday effects, promotions, meteorological readings, epidemiological proxies, mobility indicators, and neighborhood demographics—within a hierarchy of models ranging from seasonal ARIMA and gradient-boosted trees to deep learning architectures such as LSTMs and Temporal Fusion Transformers (TFT). We outline design choices for feature engineering, hierarchical reconciliation across store → category → SKU, backtesting with rolling origins, and business-centric metrics (WAPE, sMAPE, service level, stockout rate, and waste). To ground the method in practice, we detail a clinical research–style operational study situated in real pharmacy workflows, considering data governance, patient safety, and ethical use of retail health data. An illustrative results section (based on a realistic pilot evaluation design) shows how a multi-model stack can reduce weighted absolute percentage error (WAPE) by 25–40%, increase on-shelf availability, and lower expiries. We conclude with deployment guidelines—MLOps, model monitoring, exception handling—and a candid scope and limitations discussion relevant to urban markets in India and comparable settings.
Optimization of Pharmacy Supply Chains Using AI and Machine Learning
Pharmacy supply chains are under intensifying pressure to deliver the right medicine, in the right quantity, at the right time—while minimizing costs, preventing expiries, and complying with stringent regulatory and quality standards. Conventional forecasting and replenishment methods often struggle with volatile demand, multi-echelon dynamics (manufacturer–wholesaler–pharmacy), and constraints such as cold-chain integrity and controlled-substance regulations. This manuscript presents an integrated framework for optimizing pharmacy supply chains using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). We synthesize current methods in demand forecasting, inventory control, routing and scheduling, and risk management, and we propose a practical methodology that combines feature-rich forecasting (gradient-boosted trees and sequence models), stochastic inventory optimization, reinforcement learning for adaptive reorder policies, and constraint-aware vehicle routing. A detailed study protocol outlines quasi-experimental deployment across community and hospital pharmacies, including data governance, evaluation metrics, and change-management steps. Illustrative results (based on a realistic implementation scenario) indicate reductions in stockouts (30–50%), expiries (25–40%), and total holding costs (10–20%), with improvements in service level (3–10 percentage points) and forecast accuracy (MAPE reductions from ~22–28% to ~9–14%). We conclude with discussion on interpretability, workforce upskilling, and governance, emphasizing a socio-technical approach that blends human oversight with algorithmic optimization to achieve resilient, ethical, and efficient pharmacy supply chains.
AI-Powered Pharmacovigilance: Predictive Models for Adverse Drug Reaction Reporting
Pharmacovigilance (PV) relies on the timely detection and reporting of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) to protect patients and refine benefit–risk profiles across the product life cycle. Traditional reporting pipelines—spontaneous reporting systems (SRS), periodic aggregate reviews, and manual case processing—are constrained by underreporting, delayed signal emergence, and the labor intensity of case triage. Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI)—notably machine learning (ML), natural language processing (NLP), time-to-event modeling, and causal inference—offer a path to proactive safety surveillance that augments human judgment rather than replacing it. This manuscript proposes and details an end-to-end framework for AI-powered pharmacovigilance that predicts the likelihood of ADRs before or close to their onset and automatically prioritizes potential cases for structured reporting. We synthesize the literature on disproportionality analysis, supervised and semi-supervised learning on structured and unstructured data, and graph-based knowledge integration. We then delineate a transparent methodology emphasizing data governance, feature engineering aligned with MedDRA, model selection and calibration, imbalanced learning strategies, and rigorous internal and external validation. A prospective study protocol is presented covering cohort definitions, primary and secondary endpoints, analysis plans, fairness audits, and real-world implementation through “silent” deployment followed by human-in-the-loop adoption. In a simulated multi-center evaluation reflecting real-world reporting constraints, an ensemble model integrating gradient boosting for structured EHR data and transformer-based NLP for clinical narratives achieved AUROC 0.89, AUPRC 0.42 for rare outcomes, and reduced median time-to-signal by 21 days versus baseline workflows while preserving calibration and subgroup equity. The approach improved case prioritization efficiency (–28% reviewer time per valid case) and increased report completeness, without automating clinical decisions. We conclude that AI-enabled PV can responsibly accelerate signal detection and strengthen ADR reporting when implemented with rigorous validation, continuous monitoring for drift, fairness safeguards, and clear clinical governance.

Behavioral Insights in Pharmacy Design: Enhancing Patient Experience and Compliance
The modern healthcare environment increasingly recognizes that patient behavior is influenced not only by clinical interventions but also by environmental and psychological factors. Retail pharmacies, as accessible healthcare touchpoints, play a critical role in shaping patient experiences and medication adherence. This study explores how behavioral insights—derived from psychology, behavioral economics, and environmental design—can be integrated into pharmacy design to improve patient satisfaction, trust, and compliance with prescribed therapies. The research examines elements such as store layout, visual cues, communication strategies, digital engagement tools, and pharmacist–patient interaction zones. A survey-based methodology involving 200 participants evaluates patient perceptions of pharmacy environments and their impact on medication adherence. Findings suggest that well-designed pharmacies incorporating behavioral nudges—such as clear signage, private counseling areas, and personalized engagement—significantly enhance patient experience and adherence rates. The study concludes that integrating behavioral science principles into pharmacy design can transform pharmacies from transactional spaces into patient-centered healthcare environments. Recommendations are provided for policymakers, pharmacy owners, and healthcare designers to adopt evidence-based design strategies that improve both clinical and experiential outcomes.
Use of Short-Form Video Content to Promote Rational Drug Use Among Urban Youth
The rapid proliferation of digital platforms has transformed the way health information is consumed, particularly among urban youth. Short-form video content—characterized by brevity, visual appeal, and algorithm-driven reach—has emerged as a powerful medium for influencing knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. This study explores the effectiveness of short-form video content in promoting rational drug use among urban youth, a demographic increasingly exposed to both accurate and misleading pharmaceutical information online. Rational drug use, defined as the appropriate, safe, and cost-effective use of medicines, is a critical public health objective, especially in urban environments where self-medication, over-the-counter drug misuse, and antibiotic resistance are growing concerns. The manuscript investigates how short-form video platforms can be leveraged to disseminate accurate drug-related information, improve awareness of medication adherence, and reduce irrational practices such as self-prescription and misuse of antibiotics. Using a mixed-method research design involving surveys, experimental exposure to curated video content, and behavioral intention analysis, the study evaluates changes in knowledge, perception, and intended practices among urban youth aged 18–30. Preliminary findings indicate that short-form video content significantly enhances awareness and understanding of rational drug use principles when designed with credible sources, engaging storytelling, and culturally relevant messaging. Participants exposed to such content demonstrated improved knowledge of dosage, side effects, and the importance of consulting healthcare professionals. However, the study also identifies challenges, including the risk of misinformation, superficial engagement, and over-reliance on non-expert influencers. The research concludes that short-form video content holds substantial potential as a public health communication tool but must be regulated and strategically designed to ensure accuracy, credibility, and sustained impact. The study offers recommendations for healthcare organizations, policymakers, and digital content creators to harness this medium effectively for promoting rational drug use.
Designing Value-Based Patient Loyalty Programs in Retail Pharmacies
In the evolving healthcare landscape, retail pharmacies are transitioning from traditional dispensing roles to patient-centered care providers. This shift has intensified the need for innovative strategies to retain patients, enhance engagement, and improve health outcomes. One such strategy is the development of value-based patient loyalty programs, which extend beyond transactional incentives to incorporate clinical services, personalized care, and long-term relationship building. This study explores the design, implementation, and impact of value-based loyalty programs in retail pharmacy settings. The research examines how pharmacies can integrate patient-centric services—such as medication therapy management, chronic disease monitoring, digital engagement tools, and health education—into loyalty frameworks to create sustainable value for both patients and providers. A mixed-method research approach is adopted, combining survey-based quantitative data (sample size: 200 pharmacy users) and qualitative insights from pharmacy professionals. The findings indicate that value-based loyalty programs significantly improve medication adherence, patient satisfaction, and repeat visitation rates compared to traditional discount-driven programs. The study also identifies key success factors, including personalization, integration of digital technologies, trust-building through pharmacist-patient interactions, and alignment with broader healthcare goals. Challenges such as data privacy concerns, operational complexity, and cost constraints are also discussed. The paper concludes that value-based loyalty programs represent a transformative approach for retail pharmacies, enabling them to enhance patient outcomes while maintaining competitive advantage in a rapidly changing healthcare ecosystem.

Pharmacy-Led Community Health Campaigns: Influence on Chronic Disease Management Awareness
Chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disorders, and respiratory illnesses represent a significant global health burden, particularly in developing countries like India where healthcare access remains uneven. In recent years, community pharmacists have emerged as accessible and trusted healthcare providers capable of bridging gaps in public health education and disease awareness. This study examines the effectiveness of pharmacy-led community health campaigns in enhancing awareness and understanding of chronic disease management among the general population. The research adopts a mixed-method approach involving survey-based data collection from 200 participants exposed to pharmacy-driven awareness initiatives. These campaigns included medication counseling, screening camps, informational sessions, and digital awareness drives. The study evaluates changes in knowledge levels, adherence awareness, lifestyle modification understanding, and preventive care behavior.
