Sync their entire healthcare journey.</p> <p>The Problem</p> <p>Patients, especially elderly ones, juggle medicines, injections, scans, and follow-up appointments from paper prescriptions. Doses get missed, appointments are forgotten, and doctors have no reliable record of what actually happened between visits.</p> <p>Our Solution</p> <p>MedSync turns a prescription into one organized healthcare schedule, reminds the patient at the right time, records every response, and produces a factual report for the next consultation.</p> <p>Prescription → Schedule → Reminder → Response → Record → Consultation Report</p> <p>Key Features<br> Prescription upload: PDF, image, or camera photo, with a review-and-confirm step. Nothing becomes active until the patient confirms, so there are no silent OCR errors.<br> Unified schedule: 💊 medicines, 💉 injections, 🔬 scans/tests, and 🩺 appointments in one reminder engine.<br> Smart reminders: configurable per event, with advance alerts for scans and appointments.<br> Medication escalation: up to 3 alarms at configurable intervals, then guardian notification, then call escalation.<br> Guardian Safety Mode: automatically enabled for patients aged 60+.<br> Type-specific tracking: Taken/Delayed/Missed for medicines, Completed/Rescheduled/Missed for scans, and so on.<br> Healthcare timeline and history: one chronological view of everything.<br> Healthcare Activity Report: printable PDF with adherence %, injection and test summaries, appointment history, and escalation summary, based only on stored facts.<br> Safety First</p> <p>MedSync is a reminder and record-keeping tool, not a medical advisor. It never invents medicines or dosages, never changes treatment, and never gives diagnoses. Every schedule is patient-confirmed.</p> <p>Who It Helps</p> <p>Elderly patients, people on long-term treatment, caregivers managing a family member's care, and doctors who want a clear adherence history.</p> <p>Tech Stack</p> <p>(fill in what you used: frontend, backend, database, OCR/AI, notification service)</p> <p>What's Next</p> <p>Real OCR/AI extraction, SMS and voice call escalation, a guardian dashboard, Tamil and multi-language support, and a doctor share link.</p> mobile productivity software
