Sometimes people have medicines but they don't know what they are for and what are the side-effects of that particular medicine and this little lack of knowledge can sometime lead to serious health issues and sometimes due to a particular allergy or overdose can even lead to death in some cases but iif they have some information about the medicine then can avoid such mishappening. There are alot of medicines in the market and sometimes it can confuse the doctors also they can forget about a particular drug and it can be very dangerous if they forget or suggest a wrong drug by mistake. They can use this webapp and get all the required information about that drug hence this can prevent all those situations to a great extent.
We faced challenges while extracting the names of the medicine from a photograph because there are alot of texts on a medicine wraper/box so we used RCNN to detect all the texts and we filtered out the name from it using a self collected drugs database containing about 25000 drugs. We also faced difficulties while producing the useful details about the drug in bullet points to solve that issue we used a machine learning algorithm to summarize a paragraph in 1-2 bullet points.
