Special Pharmacy Podcast Show Guest, Robert Sztar. 

Robert Sztar is the founder of Pharmactive and has developed a unique 4-step method of ‘Transpharmation’ which covers:

1. Education – I teach you the purpose of the currently available technologies.
2. Discovery – I help pharmacy owners to discover processes in their business which can be aided or automated by technology
3. Partnership – I introduce pharmacy owners to the right technology partners who will help them to plan, implement, train and maintain their products in their pharmacy.
4. Optimisation – I  help you review the solutions implemented to ensure that the original objectives have been delivered upon, and discussing areas of potential improvement.

This is achieved through my  published book ‘Transpharmation’ which is positioned as the definitive guide to helping pharmacy owners begin their journey of partnership with technology. This will be supported by a series of mini-transpharmation workshops delivered both in-person and online, as well as the flagship 12-month program of Transpharmation, where i work directly with pharmacy owners to tailor a solution for their individual businesses.

The Transpharmation podcast show was launched in February 2014 to help pharmacy owners build better, smarter, more profitable 21st century businesses by embracing technology.

During each episode we cover one or more of the following:  Listener Q&A (via social media, email, iTunes review, blog comments) Current issues & events in technology and pharmacy App of the Week Progress of the Transpharmation Book, on its way to launch in June 2014 A bite sized DIY transpharmation:

Digital Health philosopher John Nosta returns to the Pharmacy Podcast Show to talk about the transformational impact of Digital Health technologies on pharmacy, drug development and modern medicine.

If you were one of the people who dreamed of a future filled with flying cars and virtual reality, well your dreams weren’t too far off from where we are in 2016. While companies like Terrafugia are knee-deep in development of real-life flying cars, virtual reality is just beginning to take off, and not just in video games.
