Book Description

In the era of Industry 4.0, the pharmaceutical sector is undergoing a seismic shift toward “Pharma 4.0”—a paradigm where data-driven intelligence, connectivity, and immersive technologies converge to redefine drug discovery, manufacturing, and patient care. “Pharma 4.0: Futuristic Pharma through Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality (ARVR)” provides a comprehensive roadmap for this transformation.

This edited volume bridges the gap between core pharmaceutical sciences and cutting-edge immersive technology. It explores how Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Mixed Reality (MR) are not merely visual aids but critical tools for enhancing molecular visualization, streamlining high-tech manufacturing, and improving patient adherence.

Across twelve chapters, the book moves from the technical foundations of immersive reality to its applications in drug discovery, pharmacy education, industrial training, plant engineering, smart maintenance, regulatory compliance, patient care, and rapid prototyping.

Key Objectives

• Foundational Knowledge: Establishing the technical principles of AR, VR, and MR within the life sciences context.
