MedScan💊is an AI-based application designed to help pharmacists accurately read handwritten prescriptions, reducing the risk of medical errors. The system scans prescriptions, extracts the most relevant information using AI, and matches it with a database of Algerian medications. It then suggests the correct drugs and available brands # MedScan MedScan — AI-Powered Prescription Reader for Pharmacists Each year, thousands of medical errors occur because handwritten prescriptions are difficult to read. This problem affects pharmacists every day and can lead to serious consequences for patients. This challenge inspired me to build MedScan — an AI-based application designed to assist pharmacists in reading handwritten prescriptions and help them identify the correct medication. What MedScan Does Scans handwritten prescriptions Detects and extracts the most readable information using AI Matches extracted data with a database adapted to the Algerian pharmaceutical market Displays the most relevant medication suggestions with their available brands in Algeria Tech Stack LayerTechnologyFrontendFlutterBackendNode.jsAIText recognition modelDatabaseMongoDBHostingNgrok (self-hosted)Fuzzy MatchingFuse.js Challenges I Faced First time working with Flutter — learning the framework from scratch Building a reliable database with relevant Algerian medication data Finding an effective fuzzy matching solution (landed on Fuse.js) About This Project This is my first full-stack application where I handled everything independently — the idea, system conception, UI/UX design, and development of both frontend and backend. The project was inspired by someone close to me working in the pharmaceutical field, which motivated me to build a practical tool that could genuinely support pharmacists in their daily work.
