Why Qiri exists

Pharmacy is one of the
most-used and least-reinvented
parts of healthcare

The last fifteen years of clinical software bolted on alerts, checklists, and dashboards, without ever giving pharmacists a system that could actually reason. Qiri was founded to close that gap.

Leadership

Twenty years building systems for industries that answer to regulators.

Qiri is a clinical reasoning company: a clinical bar and a technical bar at once. Our founding team has cleared both before, and a clinical advisory board keeps every decision grounded in real pharmacy practice.

Javed Sheikh

Spent 20 years building the enterprise data and AI systems that large organisations actually depend on. Health insurance, financial services, regulated industries.

Saw too many AI projects fail because generalist models can't handle the weight of real decisions. So I'm building what comes next: domain-specific specialist intelligences that encode expert judgment and reason together across complex problems. Healthcare first.

Conviction: general intelligence doesn't come from bigger models. It comes from better orchestration.

Clinical advisory

Validated by pharmacists who still work the bench.

Behind the founding team sits a clinical advisory board of practising community pharmacists. They pressure-test every clinical rule Qiri reasons with, keep it honest about how dispensing works under real workload, and guide the regulatory pathway in each market we enter. No rule ships until a pharmacist who has lived the consequences has signed off on it.
