Healthcare technology is evolving at a pace we’ve never seen before. Every few months, a new breakthrough makes headlines—AI-powered diagnostics, blockchain for medical records, predictive analytics, remote patient monitoring, virtual care platforms, and more. The excitement is real, and the potential is enormous. But as someone who lives at the intersection of pharmacy and tech, Jay Bhaumik has learned that not every shiny tool is a smart investment.
The real question isn’t whether the tech is impressive. It’s whether the tech works for you—your patients, your practice, your long-term goals.
Let’s talk about how to cut through the noise, assess what’s truly useful, and build a healthcare business that leverages innovation without losing its soul.
In many industries, it’s common to chase innovation for the sake of appearing modern. New CRM tool? Let’s adopt it. AI assistant? Sure, why not. But in healthcare, the stakes are higher. We’re not dealing with clicks and conversions—we’re dealing with people’s health, safety, and trust.
Adopting new technology in this space requires more than FOMO (fear of missing out). It requires a deep understanding of how that tool impacts workflows, compliance, team performance, and—most importantly—patient outcomes.
When Jay Bhaumik and the team at Texas Star Pharmacy explored adding a tech layer to support their compounding operations, they didn’t start with features. They started with problems. What pain points were slowing them down? What manual tasks were leading to errors or inefficiencies? Only then did they look for solutions that solved those specific issues.
Lesson one: If a piece of tech doesn’t solve a real problem or create measurable value, it doesn’t belong in your business—no matter how trendy it is.
