What the FIP AI Plan 2025 Says

The plan highlights several key areas where AI can transform pharmacy practice:

  • Clinical decision support: Helping pharmacists make safer, faster, and more informed decisions.
  • Safety and efficiency: Reducing errors, optimising workflows, and supporting patient engagement.
  • Ethics and transparency: Ensuring AI is explainable, accountable, and always under professional oversight.
  • Workforce upskilling: Embedding AI and digital health into pharmacy education and continuous professional development.
  • Global collaboration: Using AI to reduce disparities in healthcare access and outcomes.

FIP’s message is clear: AI must empower pharmacists, not replace them. It should strengthen professional judgment, improve patient outcomes, and support sustainable health systems.

How This Relates to PharmBot AI

At PharmBot AI, this is exactly the mission we have been pursuing. Our intelligent virtual assistant, AIVAe, is designed to:

  • Reduce workload pressures on pharmacy teams.
  • Enhance safety by supporting clinical checks and prescribing decisions.
  • Expand access to care by enabling digital pharmacy services.

By aligning with FIP’s principles, PharmBot AI is helping to demonstrate how AI can be integrated responsibly into real-world pharmacy practice.

Our Journey at FIP Congress 2024

In 2024, PharmBot AI had the privilege of presenting at the FIP Congress, sharing our work on embedding AI into pharmacy service delivery. That moment was not just an opportunity to showcase our innovation, but also to join a global conversation about the role of technology in shaping the future of our profession.

Looking Ahead

The FIP AI Plan 2025 provides a powerful framework for innovators, regulators, and healthcare professionals alike. It validates the need for solutions like PharmBot AI and AIVAe, and it challenges us all to continue building AI that is ethical, safe, and impactful.

As we continue our journey, we are proud to be working in step with the vision set out by FIP — creating tools that empower pharmacists, protect patients, and shape the future of pharmacy worldwide.
