One of the key challenges faced by hospitals, especially general hospitals, is the difficulty in tracking the diverse new medications that patients bring with them. To address this, an efficient search function is provided to enable hospitals to quickly and easily gather information, allowing medical staff to focus more on patient care. At the same time, detailed drug information and additional resources are offered to the public, improving the quality of pharmaceutical services and ensuring patients' right to access information.

The primary focus of the home screen design was to enable users to search easily and accurately. Typically, users are expected to face two main uncertainties when using the search function. First, there is uncertainty about whether they will get the desired answers after entering a search query. Second, for first-time users, it can be challenging to predict what kind of search results they might receive. The most effective solution to address these issues was the implementation of a predictive search function. For instance, intuitive features such as shape search or scanning allow users to easily access information about pills. Additionally, by searching for keywords like interactions, DUR, or equivalence, users can quickly find detailed information related to those specific categories. A unified search function was also introduced, enabling users to access both general and specific knowledge with ease. In this way, the home screen was designed to provide users with diverse search channels, ensuring they could find the information they needed both accurately and efficiently.

Search results are organized based on the importance of the information, with results prioritized in the order of ingredients, drugs, and categories. The top three results in each category are highly accurate, providing the most relevant information based on the user’s query. Additionally, the 'See More' feature is designed to allow users to easily access additional listings for a more comprehensive search experience.

When searching for medications, the default search results are displayed as small pill images on the left. Since the search results can include more than 100 pills, each pill is shown as a reduced-size image for easier navigation. However, when pills have similar shapes, it becomes crucial to identify the correct one. To address this, enlarged images are also provided, and a floating button located in the bottom-right corner allows users to easily switch between views.

The scanning feature is a core functionality of this service. For pills that can be identified by both sides, users are instructed to capture the front side first, as designated. While capturing a single side is sufficient to view results, taking an additional photo of the back side can greatly improve search efficiency when there are many results. Once the scanning is complete, the search result number is displayed. If users need to retake the photo of either side, they can click the camera icon to rescan. During service operations, we discovered that most users capture pill photos in various environments, resulting in differences in size and shape representation. This variability significantly impacted the accuracy of search results. To address this, we narrowed the scanning area to guide users to capture pills in a specific way, thereby improving the accuracy of the search results.

Information on interactions between pills and food is provided to help users take medications more safely. Many people are unaware of how multiple medications interact when taken together or how certain foods may affect their medications. However, unintentional interactions between drugs and food can pose serious risks. To address this, interaction information between medications and food is presented in an intuitive format. Interaction-related icons are introduced to make it easier for users to search and understand potential risks at a glance. These icons are designed to simplify complex information, significantly enhancing the overall user experience.

DUR (Drug Utilization Review) is a system that provides critical contraindication information for medication use. For the searched medication, various contraindications are detailed, including pregnancy contraindications, splitting precautions, and combination contraindications. Each piece of information is interconnected, allowing users to quickly and easily search for unfamiliar products or ingredients.
