medisense-ai
A web app where patients upload a photo of their prescription and receive a plain-English explanation of each medicine, dosage instructions, warnings, and recommended follow-up steps.
MediSense AI is a web application that helps patients understand the prescriptions their doctor has given them. A user uploads a photo of a prescription and the system uses AI to read it and explain it in plain language, covering what each medicine is for, how and when to take it, any warnings or precautions attached to it, and whether any follow-up steps are recommended.
The front end is built with HTML and described as having a modern, responsive interface, meaning it should work on both desktop and mobile browsers. The back end runs on FastAPI, a Python web framework used to handle the AI analysis logic and serve responses to the browser.
The README is brief and does not describe which AI model or service performs the prescription analysis, how prescription images are processed or stored, or what the privacy practices are for uploaded medical documents. Those details are not available from what was provided.
