MedicationDriftAlert: Prescription Change Monitor
Tracks when doctors change your medications and automatically flags potential drug interactions, dosage mistakes, or insurance coverage drops for patients managing multiple prescriptions.
The Problem
Patients on 3+ medications often don't realize when a doctor switches them to a different drug, changes dosage, or adds a new prescription that conflicts with existing ones. This happens silently in medical records, leading to dangerous interactions, missed insurance approvals, or unexpected out-of-pocket costs that patients only discover at the pharmacy.
Target Audience
Patients 55+ with chronic conditions (diabetes, hypertension, heart disease), caregivers managing elderly parents' medications, people with complex medication regimens post-surgery or hospitalization
Why Now?
Apple Health and FHIR standards now expose medication lists in real-time; pharmacies are required to share data digitally; post-COVID telemedicine means more medication changes happen without in-person review.
What's Missing
Existing apps assume you manually input medications — they don't auto-sync with doctor's offices or pharmacies. No one alerts you *when* a change happens, only reminds you to take what you've already entered.
