About
Ahmed Al-Jedai is a pioneering figure in hospital pharmacy practice and the automation of intravenous (IV) compounding, particularly within the Gulf region. His research focuses on transforming pharmacy operations through robotics and evaluating the current state of dispensing and administration in Saudi Arabia and the broader Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. Al-Jedai’s major contributions include the first comprehensive survey of hospital pharmacy practice in Saudi Arabia, which established a critical baseline for the field and has garnered 49 citations. He is also a leader in the implementation of robotic systems for compounding antineoplastic and small-volume parenteral preparations, with studies showing how these technologies reduce errors, decrease waste, and improve operational efficiency. His work on a first-generation chemotherapy-compounding robot (39 citations) and a standalone robotic device has been instrumental in advancing patient safety. Notably, Al-Jedai organized the Cleveland Clinic International IV Robotics Summit, a landmark event that brought together global experts to shape the future of IV compounding. With a career dedicated to bridging pharmacy practice and cutting-edge technology, his research continues to influence hospital pharmacy standards and automation adoption across the Middle East.
