About
Laura Soumoy is a leading expert in the automation of intravenous therapy compounding, a critical area of hospital pharmacy practice focused on patient safety and operational efficiency. Her major contributions lie in systematically mapping and classifying the technologies used to prepare sterile intravenous drugs across Europe. In her seminal 2019 review, which has garnered 19 citations, Soumoy provided the first comprehensive analysis of manual, semi-automatic, and automatic compounding methods, establishing a clear taxonomy that distinguishes between automatic syringes, peristaltic pumps, and compounding dose robots. She followed this with a 2021 update (7 citations) that tracked the rapid adoption and evolution of these robotic systems. By documenting the prevalence and performance of automated compounding across multiple European countries, Soumoy’s work has become an essential reference for hospital pharmacists, regulators, and medical device manufacturers seeking to reduce medication errors and contamination risks. Her research not only highlights the technological shift from manual to automated processes but also provides a practical framework for evaluating and implementing these life-saving systems in clinical settings.
