IN PHARMACY

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is mainly considered a field of science and engineering that exhibits the characteristics we associate with intelligence in human behavior. AI is a concept that encloses a series of advances that are expected to use human-like insight to handle different problems. This paper gives a general overview of various modules in this interdisciplinary field which include Problem solving and planning, Speech, Vision, Robotics, etc AI, along with machine learning, can be used in computer vision. More advantages in the field of engineering as well as in medicine can be achieved by future scenarios worldwide. Healthcare will be the next domain that is developed through the use of the concept of artificial intelligence. The AI process is used for critical diseases such as cancer, neurology, cardiology, and diabetes A few progressive explorations of AI applications in medicine and pharmacy provide an idea of a future where human interactions are gradually brought together by social insurance conveyance. Likewise, this review will discuss how AI and machine learning can save the lives of humans. This can be helpful for healthcare professionals to see how, when, and where AI can be more efficient and have the desired outcomes.

BRIEF HISTORY AND INTRODUCTION:

Artificial Intelligence has a long back history and it is there since the age of computer science. The name “Artificial Intelligence” was proposed by John McCarthy Early work in AI was started with simple “Toy” fields and got some effective outcomes from it. A few progressive results of AI in place of human work have existed since the 1950s. In every event, it turned out that the achievement of knowledge at the human level was somewhat confused, prompting a few "artificial intelligence winters".

Artificial Intelligence is a human intelligence research and prototype where an intelligent specialist is a system that knows its situation and conducts activities based on instructions that amplify its risk of development. In Artificial Intelligence, "Artificial" means objects which are generated or developed by individuals instead of occurring naturally, and "Intelligence" is the ability to frame strategies to achieve goals by subsequently associating with a data-rich world. In essence, man-made consciousness communicates with machine knowledge and the partition of software engineering that is objective to generate it. Artificial intelligence is not a new field, but the field has recently made fast progress in the current world. This has been empowered by advancements in registering power and the extreme volume of currently generated computerized knowledge.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND THE MEDICAL FIELD

The information which depends on artificial intelligence has huge consequences for human health. Similar to the entry and use of medicinal/clinical data, this industry is very much managed Various Applications of Artificial Intelligence are:

Clinical Care

Medical Imaging

Echocardiography

Surgery

Image-based Diagnosis

Neurological conditions screening

AI in Radiology

AI in Dermatology

AI in Pathology

AI in Drug Development

AI IN DRUG DEVELOPMENT:

The initial step in the growth of drugs is the discovery of basic and main chemical elements with organic action From the cooperation of the compound with a specific catalyst or with a complete living being this natural movement will arise. A ’hit’ is defined as the primary compound that shows motion against a given organic target. During the initial screening of substance libraries, PC recreation or screening of usually detached items

Applications of AI in drug development:

1 AI in synthesis of drug-like compounds

2. AI in drug repurposing

3. AI in selection of a population for clinical trials

4. AI in finding the hit or lead

5 AI in cardiology

CONCLUSION:

The main aim of AI is to develop the computational agent which exhibits the characteristics we link with intelligence in human behavior. In general, this agent will solve complex real-world problems by using large amounts of knowledge and several methodologies. It is highly essential that the agent’s knowledge and reasoning are understandable to the humans and whenever needed it must be capable of explaining the decisions taken by it and why. The agent must be able to communicate with the users, ideally in natural language, and also it can continuously learn with the increasing challenges globally with respect to various fields and technologies. By overcoming the limitations of humans, it may give creative solutions according to the new situations and problems it might face.

“TRANSFORMING “TRANSFORMING GLOBAL HEALTH" GLOBAL HEALTH"

PHARMA DIGITALIZATION

ADVANCING RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT WITH AFFORDABLE INNOVATIONS

Research and development (R&D) are an important tool for growth and development in any field and the key element of many organizations. It is not only limited to medical or science fields but to every part of the invention. Mainly, pharmaceutical industries have well-established research and development department that works on the quality control of different pharmaceuticals.

R Other fields include education, organisations, agriculture etc. Hence, future economic progress depends on the invention and application of new technologies. This R&D has a great role in enhancing the capability of companies in bringing innovative methods of research, production, reduce costs and improving global health

About a billion people, globally still lack access to health care because of

Poverty

Infectious diseases – According to WHO data, 6 7 million deaths were due to infectious diseases in 2008 alone.

Non-communicable diseases- Like cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and diabetes. These diseases led to 36 million deaths annually. These are also the leading cause of death globally.

HIV/AIDS – An estimated 33 million people suffer from AIDS and around 2 million deaths are recorded annually.

Many health plans, life sciences companies and the government are facing rising costs and undesired outcomes. They are working to improve healthcare outcomes by reducing costs. Hence, it can be concluded that the health care is in need of innovation Some of the innovations those are helpful in transforming global health are-

Telehealth: Helpful in improving self-care or in preventing complications and in case of emergency situations.

Convenient care: Urgent care centres that provide more convenient and lower-cost care to patients

Point of care diagnostics: It includes physicians, ambulances, hospital which is important for faster and better patient care.

3D printed devices: Medical technological products that are cheaper at cost and were developed to meet the physiological needs of patients Examples include orthopaedic and cranial implants, surgical instruments, external prosthetics

Virtual reality: This helps in accelerating the behaviour of patients for better health-related problem understanding and reliable treatment

OBJECTIVES:

Biosensors and trackers: These were incorporated into clothing and other accessories of patients that help the physician monitor the health of patients.

Social media awareness: The awareness data obtained from different social media platforms and other volunteer organizations help to find out population health trends

Artificial intelligence: It works with greater speed and accuracy with little resource utilization

Immunotherapy: For cancer patients or patients with autoimmune diseases. Health-related costs and side effects of the therapy were to be considered before initiating it.

Genetic sequencing: Providing target therapies for susceptible patients who are likely to respond.

While coming to the research part, preclinical trials were essentially done to know about the therapeutic and toxicological aspects of the drug Some of the trends for short-span virtual research include-

Zebra fish: It is a freshwater fish which is also called as tropical fish, a common aquarium fish belonging to family Cyprinidae. It is best suited for animal models because of its high fertility, and faster embryonal development The transparent embryo allows for cell development to be examined virtually. Hence it is useful in determining the functioning of genes and the genetic basis of various diseases. Sacrificing the fish is not needed as the effects of the drug can be virtually known.

Hallow fibre assay: It is an in-vivo screening model in quantifying the anti-cancer activity of the drugs. It mainly demonstrates the pharmacodynamic endpoints like microtubule and cell cycle disruption.

Positron emission tomography: This technique provides specificity of disease or drug product effects It provides information about the bio-distribution of the drug molecules that carry positron-emitting radio isotopes and to know the chemical entity is in target compartments in sufficient amounts to be pharmacologically active.

INCLUSIONS:

Besides various research designs, the financial reports should be considered because innovating new technologies with higher costs lead to less acceptance. At the same time, usage of the developed design in the population to be considered to know the rate of usage of any innovation as the innovation should pertain to every individual. These can be done with some methods

Conjoint surveys- This method helps to understand the individual choices of innovations. This helps us to determine the value that individuals place on innovation and also in testing new financial products and their key elements of usage were considered

Survey gamification: Traditional surveys are time taking and hence gamification is a great way in engaging individuals and get relevant data.

The research that was carried out should be accurate and the drug developed for human health should be within reach to every individual. This can happen with awareness about the drug that is to be marketed and the financial inclusions should also to be considered because the drug marketed should be affordable such that it reaches every individual. When the above-mentioned factors are adopted, then humans will transform global health

WORLD NO TOBACCO DAY

WHO annually celebrates World No Tobacco Day on May 31st The primary objective of World NoTobacco Day is to abstain from tobacco use. Tobacco is Extremely Harmful and Dangerous for everyone who consumes it, including those nearby smokers. Smoked and chewed tobacco leaves are used for a variety of effects. The most harmful component of tobacco is Nicotine, which is also the most addictive chemical.

The term 'TOBACCO' refers to a variety of plants of the Solanaceae family genus Nicotiana as well as any product made from the cured leaves of these plants. Although there are more than 70 different species of tobacco, N Tabacum is the most widely grown variety The majority of tobacco products, including cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and shishas, are made from dried tobacco leaves. They can also be used to make snus, snuff, chewing tobacco, and dipping tobacco. Smoking causes or increases the risk of numerous fatal diseases, particularly those that affect the heart, liver, and lungs. It is not at all safe, especially for teenagers and the youth

HARMFUL RESULTS-

Cancer

Heart Diseases

Tooth Decay

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Lung diseases

Vomiting

Dizziness

Cough

Loss of appetite

Loss of taste and sense

The main purpose of no tobacco day is to educate people about the dangerous effects of tobacco consumed in different manners such as sniffing, smoking, chewing, etc.

This annual event educates the public about the risks of tobacco use, the business practices of tobacco companies, what the WHO is doing to combat the tobacco Epidemic, and what people all over the worldcan do to assert their right to health and a healthy lifestyle as well as to protect future generations.

World No Tobacco Day was established in 1987 by the World Health Organization's member states to raise awareness of the worldwide tobacco pandemic and the avoidable death and suffering it causes. The World Health Assembly declared April 7, 1988, to be 'A WORLD NO-SMOKING DAY' in Resolution

WHA40 38, which was adopted in 1987 The World Health Assembly's Resolution WHA42 19, adopted in 1988, mandates that World No Tobacco Day be observed annually on May 31.

DIGITAL MAKEOVER

OF

THE PHARMA

INDUSUTRY

Our generation is indeed blessed and powered to have been able to witness the rise of this Digital hurricane that has taken over all aspects of our life. It is the most pivotal tool to transcend almost all hurdles thrown towards mankind, the prevalent one being COVID-19. To overcome this impediment all we needed was the vaccine which again would not have been possible without man’s digital childComputers.

This digital makeover has even seeped into the Pharmaceutical sector beginning from drug discovery and all the way till manufacturing, marketing, and distribution In research many tools such as Deep learning and neural networks have been actuated. Firms such as Benevolent AI and Exscientia are currently developing AI based applications to assist with the process of structured and unstructured data in the drug discovery process As drug discovery phase is the foremost undertaking for a pharmaceutical organization, using digital tools such as HTS (high-throughput screening) can aid in processing 100 million reactions in less than 10 hours, with just 1 millionth of the cost. This undoubtedly boosts the number of most probable drugs while slashing down the cost and number of years involved.

Apart from HTS, a plethora of digital technologies and approaches are being currently employed to obtain quicker and accurate substances having desirable therapeutic effects. Among many, some include neural networks and knowledge graphs and genetic

programming for the drug discovery evolutionary algorithms

Deep learning is also a form of representation learning which predicts the molecular properties of a desired chemical compounds. A perplexing level of accuracy has already been achieved via a vectorized representation of molecules, saving time spent in the drug discovery phase, decrease drug failure rates, and post it as a costsaving tool.

Neural networks is another one of the concepts used to differentiate diseased cells from the healthy ones, pattern recognition and segmentation of medical images and for diagnosis prediction. In the pharmaceutical sector, it is used to predict Pharmaceutical ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion) properties of molecular compounds and targets for drug discovery.

Employing knowledge graphs to identify the potential course of COVID-19 treatment infection is one of the success models. It became feasible to predict and further determine, which of the approved medicines could have a desirable effect. By analysing data via the knowledge graph, the prospective medications that can halt the “cytokine storm” (an overreaction of the immune system) were identified and further developed.

Once the drug has been identified and has passed the preliminary inspections and trials, digital tools complement the manufacturing and marketing process as well This digital concept has been applied by GE Healthcare wherein, they have built a digital data exchange program in collaboration with Amgen which aims to understand the relationship between variability in raw material and process performance of those variables during manufacturing. This program even employs predictive and statistical analysis for a consistent biomanufacturing performance

The distribution value chain has not been left out of the grip of this digital revolution, Pharmaceutical production is now connecting with suppliers and monitoring the sales reps connecting with health professionals, and all in real time. How are they connecting everything with everything within the life sciences? The simple answer is IoT With a real-time active information exchange between buyers and manufacturers, pharma customer representatives can see which drugs are being ordered and allow the system to re-supply the manufacturing chain on the fly. In terms of asset management, IoT has been able to achieve a 6.8% improvement in production throughput.

Eli Lilly and Company is also onto the path into this digital world through implementation of robotics and data analytics in the pharmaceutical manufacturing units. These new and upcoming digital implementations of robotics for lifting boxes reduce the ergonomic risks, ensure quality assurance, and drive cost efficiencies. Predictive analytics solution is also one of the newer technologies to be effectuated in manufacturing units wherein the predictive algorithms correlate the impact of variables with the drug proportions while also predicting trends with a statistical precision. Some predictive maintenance solutions go even further, alerting when your firm needs to fix a problem before that failure even occurs

Although these technologies are just the tip of the digital iceberg, man has been able to integrate it into all aspects of his lifestyle. Just like e-commerce has picked up in the pandemic era, a better-known marriage between e-commerce and pharmacy has also come into picture- E-pharmacy- PharmEasy, 1mg, Netmed etc.

PharmEasy, the e-pharmacy unicorn serves more than 2 million families a month and is known to cover every single pin code across the country, making it the largest healthcare delivery platform in the country

1mg is another well-known Indian digital consumer healthcare platform and online pharmacy. It is known to play a major part in COVID-19 vaccine storage and distribution by entering into an agreement with B medical systems- a global player of vaccine cold chain equipment.

This digital transformation has fundamentally changed the machinery of pharmaceutical companies indicating a far greater growth in domestic sales as well as the manufacturing costs. On the manufacturer’s end digitization allows the company to gain better insights over the customer’s requirement which additionally helps them to tailor a treatment plan and market it to the right targeted audience.

The real boon from digitization lies in innovation and diversity. Digital technology enables the implementation of solutions and roadmaps that weren’t thought to be possible before. The development of the COVID-19 vaccine is the most stunning example of sewing technology and digital tools into drug delivery within a new environment.

Inevitably, there are limitations to overcome and trade-offs to regulate. The dynamics of competition in the pharmaceutical paradigm is ever-changing, with swashbuckling smaller players raising the bar of competition as advanced technological capabilities are quickly adopted With such major developments, we can surely say that the new normal has already arrived. Exponential growth trends are indisputably visible due to the digitization wave that has hit the sector very hard and has changed the Pharma landscape substantially Digital transformation advances medical innovation, and with technology gearing with biology, it is infiltrating deeper into all the phases of the drug development life cycle.

WORLD AIDS DAY

HIV/AIDS, also known as acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus. It is a retrovirus-based illness marked by severe immunosuppression that can result in opportunistic infections, secondary tumours, and neurological symptoms In the US, it was initially acknowledged in 1981. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 26 previously healthy homosexual men in New York and Los Angeles both developed Kaposi's sarcoma with or without Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia. Five previously healthy homosexual men in Los Angeles developed Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia AIDS, a disease that seriously threatens life, claimed about 40.1 million victims. The RED RIBBON serves as the universal emblem for HIV-positive and AIDS-affected people. The first day of December was observed as World AIDS Day.

The short RNA genome of HIV, a typical retrovirus, has 9300 base pairs It is spherical, has a Nucelocapride core, and is encased in a lipid bilayer or envelope made from the membrane of the host cell. The two forms of HIV HIV types I and II, which have similar but genetically distinct forms HIV can infect a wide variety of tissues, but the immune system and the central nervous system are its two main targets. Macrophages and dendritic cells are also infected, but they mostly impair cell- mediated immunity.

PRECAUTIONS AND TREATMENT

Semen, vaginal fluids, breast milk, direct injection, shearing needles used during sex, oral, anal, in- person contact, and mother-to-foetus during pregnancy are all common ways that HIV spreads through body fluids. It can also enter the bloodstream through open wounds, skin breaks, and transplacentally from mother to foetus. Weight loss, a fever, a headache, a rash, and neurological problems are some of their symptoms Polymerase chain reaction, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, radioimmunoprecipitation assay, and a Western blot confirmatory test are used to diagnose the condition. In general, no medication was developed to treat AIDS. There were, however, a limited number of medications on the market to stop viral growth or viral dissemination, as well as secondary infections. They are Tenofovir, Inbec, Didanorine, Abacavir, and Didanorine. Using condoms, taking birth control pills, and never sharing needles, using contraceptive pills are the precautions to be taken for the prevention of HIV.

HELPINE

National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO) has successfully been able to implement and run the National Helpline since 1st December 2014 The helpline caters to all the population of India and is reachable from any mobile/landline number through a short code toll-free number 1097.

17TH MAY

WORLD WORLD HYPERTENSION HYPERTENSION DAY DAY

“MEASURE YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE, CONTROL IT, LIVE LONGER”

World Hypertension Day is commemorated on 17 May each year This day is designed to build awareness among the public and access for all people in the region to quality hypertension services. The World Health Organization imputes Hypertension, or high Blood Pressure, as the leading cause of Cardiac Mortality. The World Hypertension League ( WHL ) is an umbrella organization of National Hypertension societies of 85 countries and was initiated on 17 May as World Hypertension Day in 2005 The objective of WHD is to spread awareness and to provide necessary measures for prevention, detection, and of course treatment. Hypertension was discovered by Fredrick Mahomed in the 1870s, as a resident at Guy's Hospital in London. The Theme of World Hypertension Day 2022 “Measure your Blood Pressure, control it, live longer” focuses to overcome fewer awareness rates worldwide Hypertension causes when the Blood Pressure rises more than the normal pressure i.e. 140/90. It is considered as dangerous when the blood pressure level goes above 180/120. There are two terminologies Systole and Diastole. Systolic Pressure represents the pressure in blood pressure when the Heartbeats and Diastolic Pressure represents the pressure in the blood vessels when the heart rests between the beats. This is a lifestyle disorder.

An estimated 1 28 billion adults of age around 39-79 years worldwide are suffering from Hypertension, especially in low and middle-income countries. It has been found that 42% of adults with Hypertension are diagnosed and treated and less than half of adults around 46% with hypertension are unaware of their condition. Approximately 1 in 5 adults (21%) with Hypertension under control. This condition has become a major cause of premature death worldwide

An estimated 1.28 billion adults of age around 39-79 years worldwide are suffering from Hypertension, especially in low and middle-income countries. It has been found that 42% of adults with Hypertension are diagnosed and treated and less than half of adults around 46% with hypertension are unaware of their condition Approximately 1 in 5 adults (21%) with Hypertension under control. This condition has become a major cause of premature death worldwide.

In most cases, it's not found what is the cause of Hypertension, and why the pressure is going up Here are some reasons which can cause a rise in Blood Pressure. Someone might be more at risk if they:

• Obese

• Consumption of too much salt-based food

• No intake of vitamins and minerals based diet like fruits and vegetables

• Consuming too much caffeine and alcohol

• Smoking

• Lack of work-life balance

• Unhealthy Lifestyle

• Lack of sleep

• Kidney Diseases

• Diabetes

• Glomerulonephritis

• Hormonal problems

Common Symptoms include nosebleeds, chest pain, vision changes, irregular heart rhythms, anxiety, muscle tremors, etc. The only way to get checked your blood pressure is to have a health professional measure blood pressure Several complications can cause serious health problems Angina, and chest pain may occur. A heart attack may occur in which the blood supply to the Heart is blocked and heart muscle cells become dead due to lack of oxygen. It may lead to serious Heart damage and may even lead to stroke. Hypertension can also burst or block arteries which are called a stroke and lead to serious kidney failure In various income groups, in various areas, the prevalence of Hypertension varies The WHO African region has the highest prevalence of Hypertension (27%) while the WHO Region of the Americas has the lowest prevalence of Hypertension (18%).

Yoga is an ancient practice focusing on breathing, flexibility and strengthening mental health and well-being It is composed of a group of physical, mental, and spiritual practices or disciplines

The main components of yoga are breathing and postures (a series of movements designed to increase strength and flexibility.)

These practices have originated from India; thousands of years ago and have been adapted to various countries in a greatly diverse manner. Here we explore where it emerged from, which elements make yoga unique, and how it has been adopted by humankind.

Traditional yoga and contemporary yoga practices are no longer quite the same, and today yoga has been accepted by people of all ages and physical abilities Its popularity around the world has been cemented a quotidian for many, and with the aid of social media, it has allowed yogis and teachers to share their expertise wider than before.

Practising Yoga is a part of Indian culture, so if you’re a foreigner trying to immigrate or on vacation in India; your itinerary must have yoga clas sin it. It could be a few practice sessions, a month-long commitment, whatever works for you, trying this form of physical exercise must be on your do list.

The practice of Yoga is believed to have started at the very dawn of civilization. The science of yoga has its origin thousands of years ago, long before the first religions or belief systems were born In the yogic lore, Shiva is seen as the first yogi or Adiyogi, and the first Guru or Adi Guru.

Yoga works on the level of one's body, mind, emotion and energy. This has given rise to four broad classifications of Yoga: karma yoga, where we utilize the body; bhakti yoga, where we utilize the emotions; gyana yoga, where we utilize the mind and intellect; and kriya yoga, where we utilize the energy.

DIGITAL HEALTH DIGITAL HEALTH DIGITAL HEALTH DEFINTION AND BACKGROUND

Digital technology has become a necessary part of our diurnal life, and the global population has never been more connected. Innovation is passing at an unequaled rate, particularly in the digital realm. Nevertheless, its eventuality for perfecting public health is largely untapped, and digital health results have much room for enhancement. Wearable widgets, mobile health, telehealth, health information technology, and telemedicine are all exemplifications of digital health The way cases and providers communicate and get health information has been converted by technology. Without the usual limits of distance, position, or time, these technologies have begun to ameliorate medical delivery. An adding quantum of data supports the use of digital health technology to ameliorate patient education and the relinquishment of life drug chops and practices Digital health is gaining traction because it's anticipated to:

Advanced healthcare availability

Reduce any inefficiencies in the healthcare system

Enhance the standard of care

Lower the cost of healthcare

These ways have the capability to empower consumers to make better health opinions and give new options for abetting forestallment, early identification of life-changing conditions, and habitual condition operation outside of traditional health care settings. There's some substantiation that using digital drugs assists individuals to keep better track of their own health and well-being. For illustration, using digital bias similar to a smartphone not only helps with communication, but also has a large variety of apps that may help cover blood pressure, record blood sugars, assure drug compliance, and measure physical exertion.

Despite the fact that exploration of digital health technology occasionally outpaces development, there's enough substantiation to warrant the use of numerous technologies in clinical practice The capability of digital health tools to cover and encourage healthy behaviors at scale will continue to ameliorate, and better ways of evaluation will probably boost croaker confidence in their operation.

Digital health results that are patient-designed and centered could be another way to get cases involved in their own health care. The epidemic Coronavirus (COVID-19) has underscored the need for more responsive and timely health- care information, delivery, and operation platforms. It has also stressed the need for advancements in traditional face-to- face case hassles, particularly for people with habitual conditions.

Digital curatives are substantiation-grounded digital health products that combine the forenamed technologies to treat or reverse illness conditions. They're constantly FDA-approved. They're complete treatment packages that a guru may define to condense or replace established treatments Insurance programs are now covering some digital treatment programs for diabetes and weight loss. 45 Digital treatments can capture a large quantum of data from druggies through a variety of styles, including traditional clinical biomarkers, physiologic sensors4648, and social trends.

One of the main pretensions of digital health is to make data exchange between cases, bias, and professionals easier. The increased connection allows for smarter and further timely information sharing between clinicians and cases, and has strong ties to digital health's prophetic, pre-emptive, and personalized principles.

ARISING TECHNOLOGIES

Virtual reality

Virtual reality (VR) is a computer-generated, artificial representation of a real-world terrain that generally requires druggies to wear a headset for a completely immersive experience Stoked reality (AR) is a technology that overlays computer-generated upgrades on top of a real-world terrain. AR is a technology that integrates digital rudiments into real-world operations on the mobile bias. 54 Through experience literacy, this device allows cases to integrate new behaviors and chops The stoked reality game Pokémon Go (created by Niantic, Inc) for iOS and Android smartphones is an illustration of a life drug operation. The program was downloaded 500 million times and was used by 40 million people throughout the world.

Machine Literacy and Big Data

Massive volumes of data will be generated by the technologies mentioned in the antedating sections, important challenging analytics to make the data applicable and useful Artificial intelligence, or robots' capability to replicate aspects of mortal cognition, is formerly being used in other sectors of drugs, similar to radiography and pathology opinion

CONCLUSION:

The present coronavirus complaint 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic is plainly putting pressure on traditional medical systems. By enabling substantial shifts in medical care both during and after the epidemic, digital health technologies will play a critical part in battling this and unborn afflictions. Similar progress won't be easy, both in terms of the epidemic itself and in terms of the creation and deployment of new digital health results in general These advancements, as well as the convergence of medical bias with networking and consumer technologies, excite the FDA's Centre for Bias and Radiological Health (CDRH).

However, students of LJ Institute of Pharmacy decided to break the societal stereotypes, having had the opportunity to inclusively discuss and deliberate upon HIV, the students created a safe space to talk about AIDs openly.

It is worth noting that L.J Institute of Pharmacy has been working towards its vision of organically nurturing students to help them become industry leaders one day, and it, therefore, has never shied away from any opportunity that allows students to help them evolve in a holistic manner
