The pharmacy software market defines the range of applications and services that pharmacy software can provide to optimize the operations of a pharmacy, such as dispensing of drugs, management of stock, processing of prescriptions and compliance with relevant statutory requirements. This is due to the need to improve efficiency, raise quality and standard of patient care in facilities, and meet the market's growing demands. Addition to the abilities to integrate with Electronic Health Record (EHR), Point of Sale (POS), and automation also contributes much to its growth.

Photonics is the technology and science of light sourcing, detecting and controlling it or manufacturing; and applied in systems including sources and sensors and quantum computers. It is used as a fundamental foundation of the internet and is incorporated into many aspects of technological progression such as autonomous vehicles, diagnoses and treatments of diseases in the healthcare industry as well as the 5G network. A photonic sensor on the other hand is an integrated unit in the form of a device, whose function is to capture light then convert into electrical signal. Nowadays, it is widely used in combination of light emission detection and signal transmission through fiber optics and some other optical elements.
