How we built it

Challenges we ran into## Inspiration# Dawai - Smart Medication Management App 💊

comprehensive medication management application built with React Native and Expo, designed to solve real-world healthcare adherence challenges through intelligent tracking, reminders, and user-friendly interface.

🎯 Problem Statement

The Healthcare Crisis We're Solving

Medication non-adherence is a $100+ billion problem in healthcare globally, affecting millions of patients and causing:

  • 50% of chronic disease medications are not taken as prescribed
  • 125,000+ deaths annually in the US due to medication non-adherence
  • $100-300 billion in preventable healthcare costs yearly
  • 89% of seniors take multiple medications, making tracking complex
  • Lack of real-time visibility for patients and caregivers

Real-World Challenges

  1. Complex Schedules: Patients struggle with multiple medications at different times
  2. Memory Issues: Forgetting doses leads to treatment failures
  3. No Digital Integration: Paper-based tracking is unreliable and easily lost
  4. Caregiver Blindness: Family members can't monitor elderly patients remotely
  5. Poor UX in Existing Apps: Current solutions are clunky and medical-focused rather than user-friendly
