The project concerns the development of an automatic device capable of picking, from each specific package (normally blister packs), single doses of the prescribed drugs, and collecting them in a bag, in order to prepare the set of medicines needed for the treatment of every patient of the hospital. Indeed, this is the new frontier of integrated management of drugs in the hospitals, thanks to automated pharmacies, able to autonomously handle the preparation of therapies to be provided to patients, reducing the risk of mistakes and carefully monitoring the entire administration chain, in accordance with advanced logistics criteria.
