PrescriptionDriftAlert: Medication Interaction Monitor
Tracks when patients add new medications/supplements and automatically warns about dangerous interactions with existing prescriptions via SMS and email.
The Problem
Patients often don't tell their doctors about OTC medications, supplements, or drugs prescribed by specialists, leading to dangerous drug interactions that cause hospitalizations. Current pharmacy systems only check interactions at point-of-sale, missing interactions that develop when patients self-add supplements weeks later.
Target Audience
Patients managing chronic conditions (diabetes, hypertension, depression) on 3+ medications; pharmacy chains wanting to reduce liability; telehealth platforms integrating safety features.
Why Now?
Telehealth platforms (Ro, Nurx, GoodRx) are exploding and need embedded safety features to reduce liability. Patients are increasingly self-directing their healthcare and buying supplements on Amazon without telling doctors.
What's Missing
Pharmacies profit from volume, not safety monitoring. Existing apps focus on pill reminders, not interaction detection. No standalone consumer tool exists that proactively monitors and alerts.
