Aim: To develop and assess an augmented reality tool for pharmacogenomics (PGx) education based on artificial intelligence. Materials & methods: A HoloLens application was developed using feedback from three clinical PGx-trained pharmacists. 15 Participants independently reviewed the application and assessed usability using the system usability scale (SUS). Results & conclusion: Eighteen different frames were developed. Each video module was 2-3 min for the education. The application included textual information and 3D structures of PGx concepts. The mean SUS score for 15 participants (11 pharmacy students and four pharmacists) was 83, with a standard deviation of 6.6. Results suggest that PGxKnow has the potential to bridge the gap in PGx education, further widespread utilization of PGx and boost its impact on precision medicine.
