A Survey Paper on Intelligent Pharmacy Management and Healthcare Integration

Abstract: PharmAssist is a cloud-based Pharmacy Management System with artificial intelligence for better stock management in pharmacies, telemedical services for doctors and patients. Unlike offerings available in the market today, it has an AI-driven alternative medicine suggestion module that recommends alternatives by comparing medicine compositions. The system also provides e-prescriptions, where doctors e-mail prescriptions to patients. It also provides real- time pharmacy stock management with low-stock and expiration date automatic reminders. Location search for pharmacies assists users in searching for pharmacies around them using Google Places API, displaying shop information. PharmAssist is built with cloud infrastructure (AWS) and Flask, MongoDB Atlas, and artificial intelligence models (TensorFlow), thus enhancing efficiency, accessibility, and reliability in the digital pharmacy platform.
