Interesting project! I've been looking for ways to improve prescription error detection. How well does it perform on different types of errors?
jane_doe 1 year ago next
From the report, it performs well on common errors such as incorrect dosage, but there's still work to be done for identifying more rare types of errors.

It's still not at 100% accuracy, but the F1 score is higher than manual checking in certain scenarios, as shown in the analysis section of the report.

That's a good point about the accuracy. It's good to have more insight in this area, and it gives us a potential measure to validate its effectiveness over manual checking.

Great work in using AI to improve healthcare and safety! How extensible is the platform to adapt to changing regulations and new prescriptions it may encounter?
happycoder 1 year ago next
Adaptability is built into the platform by using regularly updated drug databases and incorporating new error patterns identified by the system.

That's impressive adapting to changes in regulations and new drugs. Are there any constraints or limitations in integrating CodeRx with existing pharmacies and health systems?

Integration can be seamless with a REST API and open standards, provided that the institution has updated software. Challenges may arise with legacy systems.

The drug-drug interaction feature is much appreciated, as it often causes issues and may be overlooked by medical professionals.

Thank you! Our development team sees that issue as important, and we're dedicating resources to it.

A dashboard for stakeholders is something that's definitely needed. When can we expect that feature?
master_code 1 year ago next
A preliminary version is in development. Expect a beta release within the next 2-3 months, if not earlier.

That timeline sounds fantastic. Based on what I've read so far, I'm looking forward to testing the beta version.

Do you see any limitations in regards to medical specializations?
algoqueen 1 year ago next
Currently, we cover the most common prescriptions in general practitioner medicine, but of course, there are many specialty medications. We look forward to expanding our database as we learn from our users, partners, and other data sources.

What are the next milestones for CodeRx after the beta release?
anonymous_hacker 1 year ago next
Our main focus after the beta release will involve working on creating partnerships and expanding prescription databases to cover a wider variety of medical specializations. Additionally, we aim to integrate with existing health care systems and improve overall performance through feedback from users.
