Pharumo's New Step in Medication Accuracy: EveryPick

In a significant development in the pharmacy sector, Pharumo has rolled out its new quantity audit feature in the cloud-based picking app, EveryPick, starting June 25, 2026. This feature combines proprietary analytics technology with electronic scales to help prevent the most common dispensing error in pharmacies: quantity mistakes. By enhancing accuracy in audits through weight verification, this system aims to minimize human error in dispensing, allowing pharmacists to focus more on patient interactions.

Background and Purpose of Development

The current landscape in pharmacy is shifting its focus from material handling to patient interaction. The demand for increased accuracy and efficiency in dispensing medications is now more critical than ever. However, official statistics reveal that one of the most common causes of near misses in pharmacies is quantity errors, which surpass mix-ups in drug types or dosages. This long-standing issue has necessitated better solutions for pharmacists.

EveryPick has previously utilized smartphone camera technology for automatic identification of drugs, driving digital transformation within the picking processes. The introduction of a robust item audit system has already strengthened safety and standardization in many pharmacies, providing significant contributions toward more reliable dispensing practices.

Pharumo received feedback from users expressing a desire for a dependable proof of quantity verification, as traditional visual counting has considerable room for human error. By integrating a weight-checking option, the company has seamlessly connected the picking and auditing processes, creating a safer environment where pharmacists can focus on patient care without the fear of mistakes.

Unique Features of the Quantity Audit Function

The newly introduced quantity audit function employs a specially designed algorithm that interfaces with Bluetooth-connected electronic scales. Here are its primary features:

1. Instant Quantity Calculation: Simply place the medication on the scale, and the system instantly calculates the exact quantity.
2. High-Precision Weight Assessment: Utilizing technology that accounts for varying packaging weights (loose, sheets, herbal medicines, etc.), it ensures high accuracy in verification and auditing processes.
3. User-Centric Design: The system prioritizes ease of use to ensure it doesn't disrupt the fast-paced pharmacy environment, allowing anyone to operate it without confusion.

Note: This function is available as a paid option for EveryPick. For detailed pricing plans, please reach out to our representative.

Feedback from Early Adopter Pharmacies

Pharmacies that have experienced the new feature, such as My Life, reported:

• - "The ability to audit quantities brings peace of mind. I believe it will enhance the quality of our dispensing and speed up the process, especially for new pharmacists and assistants."
• - "For herbal medicines, calculating quantities manually was time-consuming. This new feature improves accuracy while reducing the time needed for quantity verification — it's a great relief."
• - "Now, even administrative staff can assist with quantity validation, which allows pharmacists to dedicate more time to patient interactions."

Insights from the Development Team

The creation of the quantity audit feature stemmed from Pharumo's aim to alleviate pharmacists' psychological stress regarding potential errors. Emphasizing an intuitive user experience that does not disrupt workflows, this function responds directly to real-world requests from pharmacy professionals. Pharumo's vision is to create a state where their systems are seamlessly integrated into everyday workflows of pharmacies, enhancing overall service quality and safety. Future expansions may include risk management enhancements that interlink with patient information, solidifying the company's role as a trustworthy provider for pharmacy infrastructures.
