A Nigerian pharmacist, Chiamaka Gift Ogueri, has graduated with a Master of Science degree in Artificial Intelligence and Digital Health, earning a Distinction from the University of Westminster, London.
Ogueri, a registered pharmacist, completed the postgraduate programme after studying artificial intelligence and its application in healthcare.
For her MSc dissertation, she developed a prototype of an artificial intelligence-based communication tool designed to guide patients taking multiple medications and supplements.
The application was tested by more than 600 users as part of the project.
Speaking on her academic achievement, Ogueri said she began the programme without a background in coding but was determined to acquire the necessary skills.
“I started with no coding background, but I was determined to learn, to build, and to make it count. My pharmacy background helped me see the problem clearly, and AI helped me build a solution that can actually support patients in their everyday lives,” she said.
She also highlighted the need for greater application of artificial intelligence in healthcare, particularly in improving existing processes and patient experiences.
“There is a lot to build on and improve across the sector by integrating AI systems into workflows and processes to enhance the experience of users and patients,” she added.
Ogueri has over seven years of experience in pharmacy practice, technical support and business. She is also the founder of Mya Healthy Hub, a health platform based in Abuja.
She said she was working towards publishing her dissertation and developing artificial intelligence-based products for the healthcare and faith sectors.
