The implementation of precise dosing technologies and robotics in clinical pharmacy represents a crucial advancement in modern healthcare systems. Accurate dosing and timely delivery of medications are essential for ensuring patient safety, therapeutic efficacy, and resource optimization. This article explores automated dosing systems, including Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) mixers, automated medication dispensers, innovative infusion therapy technologies, and AI-based digital platforms. The role of robotics in pharmaceutical services is also examined, ranging from packaging and dispensing devices to automated hospital medication delivery systems. The paper highlights both the benefits and challenges of these technologies, such as reducing human errors, optimizing costs, and transforming professional roles. Additionally, regulatory and ethical considerations are discussed, which are critical for the safe and quality-driven implementation of these innovations. From a strategic perspective, the article considers the integration of artificial intelligence and technological models that support personalized medicine, outlining future development trends and policy implications.
