Drug information explainer

The brief

Patients search the internet for medicine information and find unreliable answers. Build an app that explains a medicine from its official label in simple language: what it is for, usual doses, common side effects and warnings, and always sends personal questions to a doctor or pharmacist. Good looks like: answers checked against the label on 40 questions, quoted label sections, and safe refusals.

What you will build

1. Collect official labels for a set of medicines
2. Design prompts that answer only from the label
3. Quote the label section behind each answer
4. Test on 40 questions, including unsafe ones
5. Build the app and report accuracy and cost
