PharmaPath

Demo Site

PharmaPath is a tool that helps patients and prescribers understand medication access friction by combining nearby pharmacy discovery with FDA-sourced drug intelligence in one tool.

What it does Pharmacy Finder: search a medication and location to see nearby pharmacies ranked by call priority, alongside an FDA-derived access signal (easy / moderate / difficult / unavailable) that reflects shortage, recall, discontinuation, and manufacturer context.

Medication Lookup: get a deeper intelligence view: shortage evidence, recall details, formulation alternatives, manufacturer history, approval status, and a plain-language takeaway for clinical decision-making.

What it does not do: PharmaPath does not claim live shelf inventory. It uses Google Places for pharmacy discovery and FDA datasets for access signals. It is explicit about this distinction throughout the UI.

Crowd signal Signed-in contributors can submit pharmacy-specific availability reports. Reports are stored in Firestore and weighted by contributor trust (based on contribution history and recency), so no single account dominates the signal. Contradictory reports reduce confidence rather than being silently averaged.
