Medicine

Note: This project is not yet available on GitHub.

Overview

Medicine is a medication operations center designed for people managing complex medication regimens. It tracks doses, sends reminders, monitors for interactions, and helps coordinate refills—all with an offline-first design that works even without internet connectivity.

Key Features

• Dose Tracking: Log medications with timestamps and notes.
• Smart Reminders: Configurable notifications that adapt to your schedule.
• Interaction Checking: Warns about potential drug interactions.
• Refill Management: Tracks supply levels and reminds when refills are due.
• Offline-First: Full functionality without internet, syncs when connected.
• Caregiver Support: Share medication schedules with family or healthcare providers.

Technical Architecture

Medicine is built as a Progressive Web App (PWA) with a React frontend that works offline through service workers and IndexedDB. The FastAPI backend handles sync, interaction checking, and caregiver sharing features.

Design principles:

• Offline-First: All core features work without connectivity.
• Privacy-Focused: Health data stored locally by default, optional cloud sync.
• Accessible: Designed for users with varying technical abilities and accessibility needs.
• Reliable: Critical reminder system with multiple fallback mechanisms.

Technology Stack

• Frontend: React with TypeScript, PWA with service workers
• Backend: FastAPI with Python for API and sync services
• Database: PostgreSQL (server), IndexedDB (client)
• Notifications: Web Push API with fallback to email/SMS
• Sync: Custom conflict resolution for offline-first data sync

Current Status

Active development with core tracking and reminder features complete. Offline support is fully functional. Currently adding interaction checking powered by drug database APIs and improving the caregiver sharing experience.
