A Night of Recognition, Reflection, and Renewed Purpose
A few days ago, I had the privilege of attending the HealthInvestor Awards 2025 in London, where PharmBot AI was nominated for Healthcare Technology Provider of the Year. While we didn’t walk away with the trophy, the experience left me with something far more meaningful: validation of the mission, energy from our peers, and a clearer vision of where we’re headed.
Being shortlisted alongside some of the most innovative organisations in UK healthtech was a huge honour. For a startup that began just one year ago with the goal of supporting pharmacists through automation and AI, this nomination alone marked an important milestone.
Over the last 12 months, we’ve:
- Onboarded 40+ independent pharmacies preparing to implement our platform
- Built a robust AI-driven Prescription Verification system
- Developed AIVAe, our intelligent assistant for pharmacy teams
- Engaged in conversations with NHS stakeholders, regulators, and international partners
- Earned interest from across the globe — including the US, Eastern Europe, India, and Japan
But more than anything, the awards night reminded me why we do this: to make pharmacy safer, smarter, and more sustainable.
To everyone who’s been part of the PharmBot journey — from pharmacists and developers to supporters and critics — thank you. This nomination wasn’t just about recognition. It was a reflection of the real-world challenges we’re tackling and the people we’re building for.
We’re only just getting started.
If you’re curious about our work or looking to collaborate, I’d love to connect.
