Go.Robot is an Australian company that distributes and configures robotic solutions for inventory management and blister pack production in the pharmacy sector, and has also developed a solution for remote medical dispensing. Remote pharmacies are necessary to improve health outcomes for people living in regions such as the Torres Strait, the Northern Territory, and remote areas of Victoria and South Australia.

Using Go.Robot’s solution, pharmacists consult with patients via video-chat and remotely dispense medication from secure cabinets in a controlled process. Supervision by a local clinic or remote identification via iris or fingerprint recognition ensures that medication is being dispensed to the correct patient. Stock levels can be monitored in real time by funding agencies and pharmacists alike, with deliveries automatically triggered.

Go.Robot supplies a sturdy cabinet that can hold up to 1,500 trays of medication. It can be used as a 24/7 standalone pick-up for medication or it can be combined with an external terminal. There is also a bigger solution to act as a full-sized remote pharmacy with internal fridge, thousands of stock items, external label printer, and card function, supported by video consulting and remote dispensing by a qualified pharmacist.
