*The names of medicines are replaced by variably colored stickers in order to further enhance security of patient information.

HOW IT WORKS

It works by presenting a diary-like interface where the pharmacist uploads the details of the patient.

The app captures only the number of the patient and the prescription for the patient.

The prescription data captured comprises of the quantity, frequency, and duration of the treatment dose.

For simplicity and confidentiality purposes, the app captures color codes instead of the actual names of the medicine. This ensures there is no confusion (drug names might be confusing to the patient), and ensures the privacy of the patient is protected.

On uploading the details of the patient, the server then sends SMS as per the instructions based on the patient’s prescription.
