[Diabetes-Talk] Pill Identifier App?

Thu Oct 3 19:48:46 UTC 2024

Hi. I am also totally blind, so this is the best work-around I have come up with, because I am not sure of the true accessibility of the available pill identifier apps.
As I progress with my pharmacy education, I am considering making a project out of developing just such an app for blind users.
Best of luck. Feel free to reach to me with questions.

Hi,

Sorry, I'm totally blind and that does not work for me. I was certain that there was apps that scan a pill and identify. I've looked in the app store but difficult to determine what be the proper one.

Hello. I don't think there is an app for what you want, I think the best you could do is take a photo with be my AI and then enter those numbers into the pill identifier on a free app like Drugs.com. I'm telling you this as a third year Pharmacy student who is going through some of the same struggles.
I'm not sure how reliable that would be, because the numbers and color of the pill are vitally important, but it is worth a try.
I hope this helps.

Hello Eileen:

I take it you have the Scriptalk reader device. There i also a Scriptalk app that is free to download and install on your iPhone.

Now, if I misinterpreted your question, perhaps you can help me to better understand?

Cordially,

Curtis Chong

Hello All,

Does any one have a recommendation for identifying pill medications done through scanning the image of what a pill looks like? I have script talk that reads the special labels, but want a confirmation way to tell me what a pill is when the pharmacy sends me an entirely different shaped pill from what I had been accustomed to. I'd like an app for my Iphone.

Thanks for any suggestions, preferably a free app.

Eileen
