Pharmacy-only medicines can now be accessed via new smart vending machines at Changi General Hospital.
Developed by pharmacists, the Pharmacy Smart Interface System (PharmaSis) has been authorised by the Health Sciences Authority in April to dispense pharmacy-only medicines with guidance from a CGH pharmacist via teleconsultation.
PharmaSis has smart safety features that ensure medication safety and quality. It is built with an automated temperature and humidity control system for storing medicines. It provides pharmacists with a real-time video feed of the dispensing process to check if it dispenses the correct type and quality of medicines. It also has an interactive screen that displays key information on OTC medicines to help consumers in selecting medicines.
