The Challenge

Hospital pharmacists face immense pressure to ensure medication safety while managing complex drug interactions, patient-specific factors, and regulatory requirements. Traditional systems often lack the intelligence to detect potential iatrogenic risks, leading to preventable medication errors that can harm patients and increase healthcare costs.

Our Solution: Pharma

We developed Pharma, the first intelligent digital platform specifically designed for hospital pharmacists. The system combines advanced AI algorithms with comprehensive medical databases to provide real-time analysis and control of medical prescriptions, automatically detecting potential iatrogenic risk situations.

2

Prescription Validation

Real-time validation of medication orders against clinical guidelines, dosing protocols, and patient-specific factors.

3

Drug Interaction Detection

Advanced algorithms that identify potential drug-drug, drug-food, and drug-disease interactions.

4

Risk Assessment Alerts

Immediate notifications for high-risk situations requiring pharmacist intervention.

5

Medication Safety Monitoring

Continuous monitoring of medication administration and patient response for ongoing safety assessment.
