The Revolution of Long-Term Care: Enhancing Efficiency and Accuracy in Medication Management Through Artificial Intelligence

Non-adherence to medication is recognized as a public health concern, affecting treatment outcomes and overall healthcare cost [1]. A report by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) revealed that failure to adhere to medical advice led to approximately 200,000 premature deaths annually in Europe [2]. The high health and economic costs of non-adherence to medication is a significant issue for both society and the economy. The healthcare industry is adopting Artificial Intelligence (AI) to transform medication management [3]. From prescription processing to ensuring patient adherence, AI is playing a pivotal role in reducing human error, improving efficiency, and personalizing care. Medication management, a critical area in elderly healthcare, benefits immensely from AI-driven solutions. It offers significant enhancements in speed, accuracy, and safety. This white paper explores how AI revolutionizes medication management, including key challenges, technological advancements, and real-world applications.
