Family MedCabinet
Scan hospital reports and track home meds so families avoid duplicate prescriptions and bad reactions
- Problem
- When a doctor prescribes medicine for a child, the family often already has it at home and ends up paying twice. Parents also want to record food and drug reactions and track their own health metrics over the years, but the data is scattered across paper reports and phone photos.
- Solution
- A mobile app that uses OCR to digitize hospital reports and medicine boxes, lets users search existing home medicine by keyword, records visits, medication and adverse reactions for each family member, and charts health metrics over time.
- Users
- Primary caregivers in families with children or elderly parents, and middle-aged users tracking their own health metrics
- MVP
- OCR for medicine boxes and reports; keyword search of home medicine inventory; visit and medication history log; simple health metric trend charts; multi-member profiles
- Revenue
- Free basic tier; paid subscription for unlimited OCR, multiple members and cloud backup
- Why now
- Mobile OCR is now accurate enough, family health awareness is rising, but existing tools are either hospital-facing or fitness-focused, leaving a gap for a lightweight home medicine cabinet plus report tracker
