KENNETH Cheng's innovative approach to healthcare technology is transforming the pharmacy profession in Australia, with some of his most impactful digital health projects in use in pharmacies around the country.
After starting his career as a community pharmacist working at a busy metropolitan pharmacy, Cheng's interest in technology led him to building new clinical systems for a large pharmacy chain in Australia.
From there, he has worked across multiple products ranging from digital health mobile apps, the MyScript dispense system, e-commerce marketplaces, booking systems and SaaS clinical workflow tools for health professionals, and is now the Product Manager at MedAdvisor Solutions.
In an interview for Raven's Recruitment podcast, Your Pharmacy Career, Cheng shared his insights into the behind-the-scenes challenges and lessons from implementing e-prescriptions during the pandemic, his startup roots with PharmHack and his rise as a digital product leader.
For pharmacists who feel they have reached the top of their career journey and want to know what else is out there, Cheng's top tip is to be curious.
"Put yourself in uncomfortable positions, lean into situations outside your comfort zone, and just be curious, because ultimately, you just don't know what's going to come about from those interactions and events," he said.
