Pharmacy is evolving rapidly, with technology playing a pivotal role in streamlining operations, improving medication safety, and enhancing patient engagement. Here are the five most impactful technologies pharmacists are using in their daily workflow in 2025:

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Tools

AI-powered solutions are transforming pharmacy operations by:

  • Predicting medication shortages and optimizing inventory

  • Flagging potential drug interactions and allergies

  • Personalizing medication regimens based on patient data

Mobile Health (mHealth) Apps

Pharmacy-specific mobile apps are empowering both pharmacists and patients by:

  • Sending medication reminders and refill alerts

  • Facilitating direct communication between pharmacists and patients

  • Providing educational resources and adherence tracking
