Pharmacists' propensity to trust automated technologies: A demographic analysis
Journal of the American Pharmacists Association : Japha
|December 25, 2025
Summary
Older and more experienced pharmacists show a higher propensity to trust artificial intelligence (AI). Early exposure to AI in pharmacy education may improve trust among younger professionals.
Area of Science:
- Pharmacy Practice
- Health Informatics
- Artificial Intelligence
Background:
- Artificial intelligence (AI) and automation are increasingly used in pharmacies.
- Limited research exists on pharmacists' trust in AI.
- Understanding trust is crucial for successful AI adoption in pharmacy.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess pharmacists' propensity to trust AI in automated technology.
- To identify factors influencing pharmacists' trust in AI.
Main Methods:
- Licensed pharmacists completed a demographics survey and the Propensity To Trust (PTT) survey.
- Participants rated agreement with AI statements on a 5-point Likert scale.
- Statistical analyses included Kruskal-Wallis tests and linear regressions.
Main Results:
- Ninety-nine pharmacists participated; median PTT score was 3.83.
- Pharmacist age was a significant predictor of trust (p < 0.001).
- Older pharmacists and those with 21+ years of experience had higher trust scores.
Conclusions:
- Age and experience positively correlate with pharmacists' propensity to trust AI.
- Integrating AI education early may enhance trust among younger pharmacists.

01:12Analysis of Population Pharmacokinetic Data
648
Analysis of population pharmacokinetic data involves studying the behavior of drugs within diverse populations to understand their pharmacokinetic parameters. Traditional pharmacokinetic methods typically involve collecting samples from a few individuals and estimating these parameters. While these methods are commonly used, they have limitations in capturing the variability in drug response among individuals or heterogeneous populations. Population pharmacokinetics is employed to address these...

01:27Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age
174
Age-related pharmacokinetic changes are extensively documented, but understanding age-related pharmacodynamic alterations is relatively limited. This knowledge gap can be partly attributed to the complexity of developing appropriate measures of drug responses compared to bioanalytical methods for determining drug concentrations.Most information regarding age-related differences in human pharmacodynamics originates from cross-sectional studies. However, these studies assume that observed mean...

01:01Dosage Regimens: Partial Pharmacokinetic Parameters
133
It is not uncommon for complete drug pharmacokinetic profiles to remain elusive in pharmacokinetics. This necessitates certain educated assumptions by pharmacokineticists to determine appropriate dosage regimens without comprehensive pharmacokinetic data from animal or human studies. One prevalent assumption is setting the bioavailability factor, denoted as F, to 1 or 100%. This assumption caters to the scenario where a drug doesn't achieve full systemic absorption, resulting in the patient...

01:15Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients
206
Elderly individuals encompass a diverse population with varying degrees of age-related physiological changes. Defining the elderly presents challenges, as the geriatric population is often arbitrarily categorized as individuals older than 65. However, many individuals in this group lead active and healthy lives, with an increasing number surpassing 85 years and falling into the older elderly category. Physiological changes associated with aging impact performance capacity and homeostatic...

01:22Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Absorption
205
As individuals age, their body's physiology evolves, affecting drug pharmacokinetics. The most apparent changes occur in the gastrointestinal tract, where an increase in gastric pH, a delay in gastric emptying, and a reduction in gastrointestinal motility are observed. Remarkably, these changes do not substantially modify the absorption of orally administered drugs, particularly those absorbed via passive diffusion.Transdermal drug delivery emerges as a highly viable method for older adults due...

01:00Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Distribution
209
Drug distribution in the human body is influenced by several factors, including plasma protein concentration, body composition, blood flow, tissue-protein concentration, and tissue fluid pH. Among these, changes in plasma protein concentration and body composition due to aging significantly affect how drugs are distributed within the body. Specifically, aging is associated with a decrease in albumin levels by about 10% and an increase in α1-acid glycoprotein levels. These alterations are...
