AI in pharmacy isn't about prompts, dashboards, or “nice-to-have” tools, it’s about execution.

In this episode of the Bottom Line Pharmacy Podcast, Austin Murray sits down with Natalie Park, PharmD, co-founder and CEO of Pharmesol, to break down what AI agents actually are and why they represent a major shift in how pharmacies operate, scale, and compete.

We uncover:

• What an AI agent really is
• How AI agents can execute workflows
• How automation is driving real revenue growth
• Where pharmacies are seeing the biggest early wins

And more!

More About Our Guest:

Dr. Natalie Park, Pharm.D. is a pharmacist, entrepreneur, and health technology innovator who exemplifies how a pharmacy degree can become a launchpad for transformative impact.

A proud graduate of The Ohio State University College of Pharmacy, Natalie brings a bold, initiative-driven mindset to everything she does embracing challenges, valuing diverse experiences, and firmly believing that practice, not theory alone, drives meaningful change.

Fueled by a passion for digital health, innovation, and health policy, Natalie is the founder and CEO of Pharmesol, an AI-powered pharmacy assistant designed to strengthen connections between practitioners and patients while improving access to care. Her interests span comparative effectiveness research, health technology assessment, and healthcare innovation, all with a focus on practical, real-world application.

Natalie’s journey into pharmacy is deeply personal. After moving to the U.S. as a teenager, she struggled to navigate the healthcare system. When she experienced an allergic reaction for the first time, she turned to a pharmacy—simply because she didn’t know where else to go. That moment shaped her purpose and inspired her to pursue pharmacy as a pathway to accessible, patient-centered care.

Today, as a technology CEO serving pharmacies, Natalie’s work blends strategy, customer engagement, and problem-solving. She partners closely with pharmacy leaders to understand their needs, guides product innovation with intention, and keeps her team focused on delivering meaningful value. Her career is a testament to lifelong learning—not as something additive, but transformative—and to the idea that pharmacy isn’t just a profession, but a platform for limitless possibilities.
