Ogueri earns distinction in AI, digital health

Nigerian Registered Pharmacist and Founder of Mya Healthy Hub, Chiamaka Gift Ogueri (Pharm Chi), has been awarded a Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence and Digital Health with Distinction by the University of Westminster, London.

Chiamaka Ogueri was celebrated at a Graduation Day Celebration in London, in recognition of her outstanding academic achievement in one of the most demanding and fast-evolving fields of the modern era.

With over seven years of experience across pharmacy practice, tech support, and business, Chiamaka Ogueri is the Founder of Mya Healthy Hub, Abuja, Nigeria, a health platform currently working on expanding to other cities.

Her journey to Distinction is particularly remarkable. She began her MSc programme with no prior core coding experience. Despite the hectic full-time schedule, she advanced her coding knowledge well beyond the classroom level, a commitment that enabled her to excel and ultimately graduate with Distinction.

For her MSc project and dissertation, Chiamaka Ogueri developed a prototype of an AI-enabled communication guidance tool for patients taking multiple medications or supplements at the same time, a common challenge for patients, caregivers, and pharmacists. The web application was tested by over 600 real users, underscoring its practical relevance and potential impact.

Speaking on her achievement, Chiamaka said:
“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.”
​
“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.”

Chiamaka is now working towards publishing her thesis and developing AI-based products across Healthcare and Faith, with a focus on building practical, user-centred solutions that improve safety, access, and experience for patients.

Her graduation is being celebrated as an inspiring example of excellence, resilience, and innovation, and a testament to the growing contribution of Nigerians to global advancements in Artificial Intelligence and Digital Health.
