CloudMinds Partners with Retail Pharmacy Giant in U.S., Introducing Powerful Cloud AI Solution for Healthcare
BEIJING, May 9, 2019 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

XI(TM) Smart Raman provides revolutionary med-verification platform for the 
retail pharmacy supply chain

Artificial intelligence (AI) is pioneering a new wave of innovation in the 
medical industry prompting large healthcare providers to quickly implement AI 
to adapt to this technological revolution. AI has become a key strategic focal 
point for retail pharmacies, nursing, and other medical providers to upgrade 
their service delivery.

CloudMinds provides a complete cloud-based AI solution for the medical 
industry, addressing unmet needs in the pharmacy retail market. For example, 
leading U.S. medicine distributors are implementing CloudMinds smart Raman 
spectrometers to support important supply chain activities including, incoming 
drug identification, drug sorting, quality control testing and recycling. 

Smart Cloud Raman Spectrometer Addresses Unmet Needs in the Medical Retail 
Industry

Retail sales are a key component of the pharmacy supply chain. Government 
legislation in both the European and American medical industries has made 
retail pharmacy the most regulated and important endpoint in prescription drug 
sales. Pharmacies need to build a strong brand identity with their clients and 
can use the CloudMinds XI(TM) smart Raman spectrometer to ensure pharmacy 
dispensing accuracy and retention via better drug supply chain quality.

Independently developed by CloudMinds, the XI(TM) smart Raman spectrometer uses 
a patented optical design to improve collection efficiency, increase 
signal-to-noise ratio and reduced detection times. Through the use of 
lightweight, smart hardware, and AI technology applications, XI(TM) outperforms 
competitors, ensuring superior accuracy and reliability in drug identification. 
XI(TM) supports the detection of a mixture of up to three substances and 
achieves components recognition with ratios in 5 seconds or less, by leveraging 
deep learning AI for data training. This is a great improvement over the 6-30 
second material matching time of traditional smart Raman spectrometers.

Pharmacy distribution and transmission generate massive amounts of data in 
their detection, sorting and recycling processes. CloudMinds XI(TM) quickly and 
accurately identifies the types of drugs being processed by leveraging a 
state-of-the-art cloud intelligence architecture, improving drug sorting and 
recycling efficiency in pharmacy retail stores. Store assistants can also get 
correct drug background information by a simple click on the XI(TM) interface, 
minimizing mistakes caused by manual sorting.

Unlike traditional solutions, the CloudMinds XI(TM) smart Raman spectrometer 
not only uses a local information database, but also leverages a large database 
in the cloud, giving it the ability to continuously update in real-time. The 
massive amount of drug testing data generated by each device is shared by the 
cloud brain, and AI algorithms in the cloud synchronize the drug information on 
each device. This ensures that each XI(TM) device in the supply chain has the 
same recognition capabilities. For large pharmacy retailers, this is critical, 
as it significantly reduces equipment maintenance costs and ensures service 
reliability. 

Interest in the CloudMinds' AI technology innovation has been keen. XI(TM) won 
the prestigious 2019 Prism Award in the category of sensors and detectors. The 
Prism Award recognizes outstanding examples of innovation and thought 
leadership in photonics research and development. CloudMinds has also signed an 
initial contract with a retailer giant for several hundred XI(TM) units worth 
over $4 million and has received strong interest from several other retailers. 
CloudMinds will continue to partner with large pharmacy retailers to expand the 
XI(TM) business and accelerate the technological transformation and development 
of the pharmacy retail industry.
