Abstract
Each nation tailors its healthcare system to meet unique population needs while optimizing resources. Amid rising demands and emerging health challenges, flexibility and evolution are vital for every healthcare system. In Pakistan, accessibility to fair medication faces significant barriers. Yet, strategic planning, adequate funding, and government commitment can surmount these obstacles. This study introduces the Medicine Substitute System, a technology-driven solution addressing this challenge. It's a user-centric platform leveraging advanced tech to offer cost-effective medication alternatives. Using image recognition, it recommends authorized substitutes from an extensive database regulated by Pakistan's Drug Regulatory Authority. The prototype focuses on key drug groups, encompassing 220 medications, highlighting 100 based on efficacy data. Employing Java Springboot, React JS, Node/Express JS, MySQL, Amazon Textract API, and Prisma ORM, this system scrapes data efficiently. Beyond affordability, it empowers patients with crucial information, contributing to public health and economic well-being in Pakistan.
