Just finished the first real feature of DoseGuard - getting the app to actually understand drug names.
The problem is people don’t type or photograph drug names cleanly. They’ll write “tylenol” instead of the real medical name, or just misspell something like “warfarn.” So I built a piece that takes whatever messy text comes in and figures out what the drug actually is.
That ingredient bit matters, because two different-looking medicines can contain the same thing, and that’s where dangerous combinations come from.
I hooked this up to a free official US government drug db, so it’s working off real medical data
