PharmacOps: traceability for returns in hospital pharmacies.
I developed PharmacOps, a prototype for organizing medication returns in hospital pharmacies. It aims to connect identification, classification, location, review and destination in one traceable digital workflow.
The public demo walks through the process using prepared data. The project originated in LabORA Challenge 6 and remains in development, with real-world validation still pending.

A workflow involving multiple decisions
Every returned unit needs an identity, a condition, a location and a destination. PharmacOps brings that information into one process so it is possible to see what happened and what needs to happen next.
What the demo shows
The prototype uses a digital tray with 20 positions (5 × 4). It simulates filling the tray, classifying prepared cases, reviewing exceptions and unloading by zone while keeping movement records.
A unit's condition—accepted, requiring review or discarded—is kept separate from its logistics destination. This distinction prevents a decision about suitability from being confused with a movement action.

- Classification and grouping
- Guided review
- Traceable unloading
Current scope
The public version is a demonstration with fictional examples. It does not yet include real medication identification, integrations with hospital systems, physical automation or professional validation. It is not presented as a clinical deployment and does not replace a pharmacist's judgement.
Next stage
The next step is to test the workflow with professionals, define evaluation metrics and assess real integrations in stages. The prototype provides a concrete basis for that discussion.
