Research Focus
Dr. Corey A. Lester's lab focuses on improving pharmacy practices by utilizing advanced artificial intelligence (AI) to prevent medication dispensing errors. This research aims to enhance patient safety by designing AI systems that can efficiently catch potential errors in real-time while also assessing the risk involved with different medications. The lab conducts studies to ensure that pharmacy staff can trust these AI technologies, ultimately leading to better decision-making and improved healthcare outcomes.
