The problem and opportunity
Community pharmacies face rising workload, supply pressures and tighter margins, while patients need reliable access to medicines and local care. Many current systems are reactive, fragmented and do not give pharmacy teams the practical intelligence needed to plan their workload effectively.
The solution and innovation
We are building a secure digital platform that turns pharmacy operational data into practical forward-looking decisions, helping teams plan their workload more effectively. It is shaped by real pharmacy workflows and tested in a live community pharmacy environment, giving us early validation from the setting we aim to serve.
Market and ambition
We are starting with UK community pharmacy, with scope to expand into wider primary care. Over the next 2 to 3 years, we aim to move from live pilot to multi-site rollout with pharmacy groups seeking efficiency without reducing patient access.
Founder perspective
Barbara Obasi is a community pharmacy contractor and independent prescriber with experience across community pharmacy, secondary care and NHS commissioning. With an MSc in Data Science and AI, she brings clinical, operational, commercial and technical insight to the problem.
