Digital pharmaceutical care, also known as e-pharmaceutical care or telepharmacy, refers to using digital technologies to provide remote pharmaceutical care services. It involves the application of digital tools and platforms to deliver medication-related services, patient counseling, medication management, and other pharmaceutical care activities. It allows patients to access pharmaceutical services conveniently from their homes or any location with an internet connection. This is particularly beneficial for individuals with limited mobility, those living in rural or underserved areas, or patients with difficulty visiting a physical pharmacy. However, it is essential to note that while digital pharmaceutical care provides many benefits, it may only suit some patients or situations. Some individuals may still prefer face-to-face interactions or may require hands-on assistance, especially for complex medication management. Healthcare providers should assess the appropriateness of digital solutions on a case-by-case basis and ensure patient privacy and data security when implementing digital pharmaceutical care services.

Primary | Patient preference | A self-reported questionnaire was developed and piloted on the first 30 patients visiting the pharmacies. Minor modifications were performed taking into consideration two expert reviews. It is available in Arabic (native language) and English based on participants' preferences. It includes 3 parts: the first part comprises the baseline characteristics of the patients and their medical history/habits; the second part reports patients' preferences, benefits and disadvantages of each of the outcomes (in-person versus digital health); and the third part assess e-literacy among them using the e-HEALS 8-item scale previously validated on the Arab population. | through study completion, an average of 2 months |
