  • An admin system to command and control the overall process.

The solution includes two core modules to handle the overall prescription delivery system.

Delivery System Module
User can click a picture or scan the prescription and send it to the web system, the system the delivers the prescription to the local pharmacy automatically which in turn delivers the order within few hours. The system algorithmically chooses the nearby pharmacy with respect to the user’s location. The system also keeps track of the overall process and delivery of medication to the end user.

Admin Module
This module of the system keeps track of all the pending, approved, completed and reviewed prescriptions and refill requests. It also manages scanned user prescriptions and other additional details like doctor details, patient details, drug related information, internal notes, patient notes and so on. It also handles Pharmacy related information. The system manages overall Order related information of all the prescriptions.
