Mobile medication selector
Patient-facing iOS and Android medication selector app built for a real symptomatic moment. Indication search, drug interaction and contraindication checks against the FHIR-backed patient profile, OTC versus Rx routing, and a Mapbox pharmacy locator.
What is a medication selector app?
A medication selector app is a patient-facing mobile application that guides a patient through medication choices by symptom or condition, runs contraindication and interaction checks against their profile, and routes between OTC and prescription options. Built FHIR-backed, it ties the clinical signal to the patient record.
The problem
Patients needed a phone app for guided medication selection. Existing tools were either pharmacy retail catalogs or clinical desk software; neither was built for low-friction use during a real symptomatic moment. Indication search was clumsy, contraindication checks were missing, and the OTC versus Rx routing was unclear. The clinical team did not trust the contraindication signal because it did not tie back to the patient record.
The approach
We built a React Native app for iOS and Android with indication search by symptom or condition, contraindication and interaction checks against the patient profile, OTC versus Rx routing tied to FHIR-backed medication metadata, pharmacy locator on Mapbox, and secure favorites stored behind biometric auth. UX is tuned for a real symptomatic moment: large tap targets, plain-language descriptions, fast search.
Stack and engineering choices
- React Native (iOS + Android)
- FHIR-backed medication metadata
- Indication and symptom search
- Contraindication checks
- OTC vs Rx routing
- Mapbox pharmacy locator
- Secure favorites with biometrics
Outcome
Patients select medications with confidence in their actual moment of need. Pharmacists see fewer ambiguous handoffs because the routing happened at the patient level. The clinical team trusts the contraindication signal because it ties back to the FHIR record, and biometric storage protects favorites.
