Abstract

This article describes the development of the Galenical Development System Heidelberg (GSH), which aims at giving knowledge-based assistance in one phase of the pharmaceutical development process, namely, the galenical routine development of dosage forms. Galenical development deals with the development of a recipe for a certain drug and its manufacturing technology. The GSH system can save pharmaceutical companies considerable time, preserves expert knowledge, and is easy to use for people who are not experts in AI. In addition, the GSH can be used as a training tool for disseminating galenical expertise
