Generative AI for Medication Counselling and Adherence in Community Pharmacies

CompletedNA

Sponsor: University of Petra

Conditions: Hypertension, Diabetes Mellitus, Dyslipidemias, Cardiovascular Diseases, Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive

Interventions: pharmacist-supervised AI-assisted medication counseling

Countries: Jordan

Medication counseling within community pharmacies is crucial for managing chronic diseases, yet significant challenges regarding correctness and completeness remain in Jordan. Although generative artificial intelligence (AI) can be utilized for patient education, there is a lack of research on clinical impact and safety of AI in medication counseling conducted by pharmacists in real-world practice. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of pharmacist-supervised AI-assisted medication counseling on the correctness and completeness of counseling information and 30-day medication adherence among patients in Jordanian community pharmacies.
