Our Journey with the RADIANT-CERSI Programme

At PharmBot AI, our mission is clear: to empower pharmacists and patients with safe, intelligent, and compliant digital health tools. As part of that commitment, we’re proud to have been selected for the prestigious RADIANT-CERSI Innovator Support Programme, delivered by DigitalHealth.London in partnership with the MHRA, BMJ, and leading UK universities.

Our participation marks an important milestone in the development of AIVAe, our AI-powered virtual assistant for pharmacy teams — and eventually, for patients themselves.

 

What Is the RADIANT-CERSI Programme?

RADIANT-CERSI is a fully funded regulatory support programme designed to help health tech innovators navigate the complexities of Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) and AI as a Medical Device (AIaMD).

Over the next three months, PharmBot AI will join a cohort of forward-thinking startups in a series of in-depth workshops covering:

  • Device classification and regulatory frameworks (MHRA, UKCA)
  • Clinical evaluation and evidence generation
  • Risk management and quality assurance
  • Preparing for real-world deployment

This programme is not just about ticking regulatory boxes, it’s about building better, safer digital tools for the NHS and beyond.

 

AIVAe: AI You Can Trust in the Pharmacy

At the centre of our innovation is AIVAe (AI Virtual Assistant for e-Pharmacy). Built for pharmacists, AIVAe is designed to:

  • Support SOP adherence and safe dispensing practices
  • Assist with clinical decision-making and patient queries
  • Reduce time spent on routine documentation
  • Prepare the groundwork for scalable digital pharmacy services

While the first version of AIVAe is deployed to support pharmacy staff, future versions will extend to patient-facing use, enabling self-care and medication management powered by clinically safe AI.

Participation in RADIANT-CERSI will help us ensure that AIVAe meets the highest regulatory standards as it evolves from a workflow tool into a certified SaMD product.

 

Why This Matters

In an era of increasing scrutiny on digital health tools, regulatory credibility is no longer optional, it’s essential.

By joining the RADIANT-CERSI programme:

  • We’re reinforcing our commitment to safety, transparency, and compliance
  • We’re laying the groundwork for MHRA and NHS readiness
  • We’re aligning PharmBot AI with the UK’s most trusted digital health institutions

 

Looking Ahead

As we progress through the programme, we’ll be sharing updates, insights, and reflections — not only to document our growth, but to support other innovators navigating the same journey.

We believe AIVAe and the broader PharmBot AI platform can play a critical role in the future of pharmacy, where AI doesn’t replace pharmacists, but amplifies their expertise and compassion.

Stay tuned, and thank you for being part of this journey.
