AI shows potential to improve rural medication safety, review finds

A scoping review published on arXiv details the application of AI in rural healthcare to improve medication safety. The review analyzed twelve studies from nine countries, finding that AI technologies are integrated across all stages of medication management, from prescribing to monitoring. Machine learning, in particular, shows promise in reducing medication errors by up to 80%. However, challenges such as infrastructure limitations, clinician resistance, and lack of governance frameworks remain significant obstacles to widespread adoption. AI

IMPACT AI integration in rural healthcare could significantly reduce medication errors and improve patient safety, though infrastructure and adoption challenges need addressing.
