MedicationDriftAlert: Drug Interaction Monitor
Tracks medication changes across multiple doctors and alerts patients to dangerous drug interactions before they fill prescriptions
The Problem
Patients see multiple specialists who don't always communicate, leading to dangerous drug interactions. Pharmacies catch some issues, but many slip through—especially with OTC drugs, supplements, and herbal remedies patients don't mention. No unified system exists that gives patients real-time alerts when new prescriptions conflict with their full medication history.
Target Audience
Patients 50+ managing chronic conditions across multiple specialists, caregivers managing elderly relatives' medications, patients with complex polypharmacy (5+ drugs)
Why Now?
LLMs can now extract medication names from photos and messy doctor notes at scale; mobile phone cameras are ubiquitous for capturing pill bottles; health data APIs (like Apple HealthKit) are finally mature
What's Missing
Existing tools require users to manually search interactions; pharmacy alerts only work at pharmacy chains; no solution lets patients proactively scan their medicine cabinet and get alerts before dangerous combinations happen
