What it is

A patient arrives with a carrier bag of half-used strips and nobody can say what they are on. This is the register for that bag: one row per strip, the photograph stored so the pharmacist can look at it, and what is legible typed off it. Candidates are then matched from TWO SOURCES AND NO THIRD — this hospital’s own stock list, and this patient’s own past prescriptions — and a named pharmacist confirms each one or records it as not identified with the reason. The confirmed list is what a prescriber copies from.

Who uses it: Built for: Every specialty
Reads: The hospital’s stock list, this patient’s past prescriptions, photographs of the strips
Writes: Bags, strips and their photographs, suggestions, a pharmacist’s confirmation
Never: IT DOES NOT LOOK AT THE PHOTOGRAPH.
Access: Only people whose role includes it — the clinic owner decides who
Your data: Full PHI. Hosted in Boston, United States. On uninstall: Every record stays; only the workflow leaves.

How it works

Open a bag against the patientOpen a bag takes the patient’s id and a note about who brought it and what the family said, and it stays open while the strips are being worked through.
Add one row per stripAdd a strip takes what is printed on it, what it looks like and how many there are, with an optional photograph stored for the pharmacist to look at — nothing in the product reads that image.
Look at what the hospital’s own rows suggestCould be lists matches from this hospital’s stock list and this patient’s own past prescriptions, and the column beside each one says which of those two it came from.
Let a pharmacist answerConfirm it takes the medicine name and strength, Cannot identify it takes a note saying why, and the database refuses a confirmation that has no person behind it.
Close the bagClose the bag ends the work, and only strips a pharmacist confirmed appear on the list a prescriber reads — an unconfirmed strip is on no list anybody can act on.

Rules it keeps

What it does not do, by design. A listing with only benefits is an advertisement.

IT DOES NOT LOOK AT THE PHOTOGRAPH.

There is no vision model anywhere in this product and no pill-imprint database either — one written from memory would be a hazard with a picture in front of it.

The photograph is stored for a person to look at; the matching is done on the words you type against rows this hospital already holds.

Nothing it suggests is a medicine until a pharmacist confirms it, a job or a script cannot be the confirmer, and an unconfirmed strip appears on no list anybody can act on.

It writes nothing to the chart at all.

Questions clinics ask

What does PillLens do?

The bag of unlabelled strips, photographed, and confirmed by a pharmacist. A patient arrives with a carrier bag of half-used strips and nobody can say what they are on. This is the register for that bag: one row per strip, the photograph stored so the pharmacist can look at it, and what is legible typed off it. Candidates are then matched from TWO SOURCES AND NO THIRD — this hospital’s own stock list, and this patient’s own past prescriptions — and a named pharmacist confirms each one or records it as not identified with the reason. The confirmed list is what a prescriber copies from.

What data does PillLens read and write?

PillLens reads the hospital’s stock list, this patient’s past prescriptions, photographs of the strips and writes bags, strips and their photographs, suggestions, a pharmacist’s confirmation. Its data class is Full PHI. Every app works on the same patient record — nothing is copied into a silo.

What does PillLens deliberately not do?

IT DOES NOT LOOK AT THE PHOTOGRAPH. There is no vision model anywhere in this product and no pill-imprint database either — one written from memory would be a hazard with a picture in front of it. The photograph is stored for a person to look at; the matching is done on the words you type against rows this hospital already holds.
