Pill Buddy

About

  • Created by a team of 4 in just 10 hours, from idea to finished product, during HackSC (Nov 2024).
  • Received Honorable Mention Award.

What it does

  • Helps elderly patients identify their medications through simple voice and/or text inputs.
  • Assists pharmacy staffs, pharmacy techs, and pharmacists shortlist the pills patient was talking about.

Inspiration

A former pharmacy technician on our team noticed that many elderly patients, especially those on multiple medications, struggle to identify their pills and often rely on visual appearance. Since they’re not very tech-savvy, they frequently call the pharmacy, requiring time-consuming searches by pharmacists. This inspired us to develop an AI solution to quickly narrow down potential pills based on patients' descriptions, making life easier for pharmacists.
