Healthcare

As automation technologies enhance a growing number of healthcare services – including imaging, surgery, radiotherapy and rehabilitation, among others – the pharmacy remains largely un-automated. Despite its important role in patient care, technicians in most pharmacies still compound medications manually, in much the same way it’s been done for generations.

despite multiple recommendations from professional health organizations including the Canadian Association of Optometrists, the National Coalition for Vision Health and the Canadian Pediatric Society, there remains no standard routine vision testing or eye exam programs for school-age children and youth across the country.
