Project Introduction

"Pharmic" is a mobile solution designed to overcome frustrations arise due to lack of medicine stocks and change of prescribed medicine brands when purchasing at a pharmaceutical store.

My Contribution

I designed a mobile solution from requirement analysis to prototyping for issues faced by general population due to lack of medicine stocks and change of prescribed medicine brands when purchasing at a pharmaceutical store. This mobile solution keeps focus on providing a constant communication between customer, doctor and pharmacist.

“ Local people find it difficult to find some types medicine in a prescription at a single pharmaceutical shop. Hence they have to spent time & money to visit multiple shops ”

01. Problem Background

‍
Most of the general public in Sri Lanka are used to visit small private clinics operated by doctors for their common illnesses. A few number of these clinics has inbuilt pharmacies. Majority of thses clinics provide a prescription for the patients to buy the medicine from a pharmaceutical shop.

In many instances patients present the prescription to the pharmacy but these shops fails to provide all the medicine in the perception slip because of not having the correct medicine brand or not having the medicine at all. At such instances patients have to visit multiple pharmaceutical shops in order to collect all the medicine of their prescription.
