Abstract
As the healthcare landscape continues to evolve, the integration of technology becomes imperative to enhance patient experiences and improve health outcomes. This study delves into the intersection of telemedicine and pharmacist-initiated management of antiretroviral therapy (PIMART) as powerful tools for making a substantial difference in the lives of both members and patients. The utilisation of telemedicine offers a transformative approach to healthcare delivery, breaking down geographical barriers and providing accessible, real-time medical consultations. By exploring the impact of telemedicine on patient engagement, satisfaction, and overall health management, this abstract will shed light on the ways in which technology can bridge gaps and contribute to a more patient-centric healthcare paradigm. Furthermore, the abstract will delve into the innovative realm of the PIMART telemedicine platform, demonstrating how technology-driven solutions empower pharmacists to play a proactive role in ensuring optimal adherence and treatment outcomes for patients seeking to prevent HIV/AIDS. The platform ensures the continued quality of care by providers. The research not only highlights the technological advancements in telemedicine and PIMART but also addresses the synergies between these approaches. By understanding how these technologies complement each other, healthcare providers, policymakers, and stakeholders can develop comprehensive strategies to harness technology effectively, making a profound impact on the holistic well-being of both members and patients. Through this exploration, the study contributes valuable insights into the future of patient-centric care in the era of digital health.
