Alireza Asghari is an Iraniann pharmacist, researcher, and advocate of integrative medicine who merges traditional Persian medicine with contemporary healthcare frameworks. He is the founder of the Canadian Association for Persian Medicine (CAPM) and has conducted research on digital health technologies presented at Harvard Medical School.
Education and early career
Asghari graduated in Pharmaceutical Sciences from the Université de Montréal in Canada.[1] His transition to integrative medicine began following a personal health crisis in 2012, where conventional treatments failed to resolve his chronic condition. Through dietary modifications guided by complementary medicine principles, he achieved recovery—an experience that redirected his career toward nutraceutical research.[2]

- Digital health integration: In 2025, his study proposing blockchain-metaverse solutions for healthcare fragmentation was accepted for poster presentation at Harvard Medical School.[3]
- Persian medicine: He co-authored studies validating traditional therapies through modern scientific frameworks, including research on humoral theory published in the Journal of Traditional and Complementary Medicine.[4]
- Chronic disease management: Investigated Persian medicine protocols for metabolic disorders via Tehran University of Medical Sciences.[5]
His publications appear in peer-reviewed journals including ScienceDirect and PubMed.[6]
