51 results about "Apothecary" patented technology

Apothecary (/əˈpɒθɪkəri/) is one term for a medical professional who formulates and dispenses materia medica to physicians, surgeons, and patients. The modern pharmacist (also colloquially referred to as a chemist in British English) has taken over this role. In some languages and regions, the word "apothecary" is still used to refer to a retail pharmacy or a pharmacist who owns one. Apothecaries' investigation of herbal and chemical ingredients was a precursor to the modern sciences of chemistry and pharmacology.

Pharmacy Surveillance and Intervention system for monitoring, detecting and preventing Narcotic Abuse

A system and method for pharmacy-level surveillance of all prescription behaviors using one or more artificial intelligence (AI) agents integrated with real-time prescription records, refill timelines, prescriber data, patient histories, PDMP registries, and epidemiological signals. The system evaluates these inputs with configurable heuristics and machine-learned models to detect prescription abuse, public health risks, and equity or bias trends, including overlapping providers, dosage escalation, refill velocity, and prescriber clustering. When an anomaly is identified, a structured alert is routed to pharmacists, prescribers, or regulatory personnel through a secure, role-authenticated communication interface. Each system transaction and user outcome is captured by a Medical Data Governance (MDG) layer, providing cryptographic sealing, timestamping, and immutable ledger storage. In some embodiments, the audit log uses a blockchain-based distributed ledger. The system's feedback-driven, adaptive architecture enables analytic and policy modules to update automatically based on real-time outcomes, public health signals, and usage trends.
