The medicine cabinet nobody has a full list of — elderly polypharmacy
What is missing today?
Interaction checkers exist, for doctors. What no product owns is the step before: assembling one complete list. Prescriptions come from different departments and hospitals that don't see each other's records, and the supplements and herbal remedies — the ones that actually collide with warfarin and blood-pressure drugs — appear in no system at all, because nobody told the doctor about them.
