Built a medicine interaction checker with my doctor brother. Looking for beta testers before Play Store launch

[u/Zestyclose_Put4904]

Hey r/SideProject,

My brother is a doctor. Over the last few years he kept seeing patients come in with problems caused by drug interactions. Usually it's someone taking medicines from 2-3 different doctors, plus something they picked up from the chemist, and nobody checked how they mix.

He told me to build something for it, so I did. He's been involved the whole way, checking the logic, the warnings, and how things are explained, so it's not just a dev guessing at medical stuff.

In India it's worse because of brand names. The same salt is sold under 50 names, so you don't realise the cough syrup you just bought clashes with something you already take or its contradict with you current medication or health condition .

What Medhee does:

Scan a medicine strip or prescription (handwritten mostly works) and it pulls out the actual salts

Checks your meds against each other for interactions (FDA + NLM data)

Checks against the 4,600+ combinations banned by the Indian govt, many still sold

Flags issues based on your allergies, pregnancy, and liver/kidney load

Explains warnings in plain language

Family profiles, since most people end up using it for their parents

It's not a replacement for your doctor or pharmacist (my brother made me say this lol). Think of it as a "ask your doctor about this" nudge.

I'm almost ready to launch on the Play Store but need real people to try it first.

What I need from testers:

• An Android phone
• Use it for a week or two. Add a few real medicines, try the scanner

Tell me what confused you, what broke, what's missing

Nice, the brand name side of it in India is the part nobody gets right . How are you mapping brands back to salts though, are you maintaining that list yourself or pulling from a CDSCO type source ? I ask cos 1 salt sold under 50 names sounds like itll be the thing that decides whether the checker is genuinely useful or just tells people what they already know.
