With our app, your smartphone can read your prescription labels out loud to you. It can even translate them into your language of choice!

The Our Pills Talk Medicine Safety App is designed to assist anyone who has difficulty reading medication labels, including: the visually-impaired, dyslexic, autistic, the elderly, ESL (English-as-a-Second Language) patients and Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islanders.

How it works:

1. The patient, downloads and installs the Our Pills Talk Medicine Safety App on to their mobile phone.

   iPhone download   Android download

2. The pharmacist generates the patient’s personalized QR barcode on the prescription label and then sticks it onto the patient’s medication.
3. The patient, using their smartphone, scans this QR barcode, converting their doctor’s prescription information and instructions from text to speech. The patient confirms that this is their correct medication by listening to the scanned and spoken information.

The QR Barcode, once scanned, also allows immediate access to:

• the drug’s CMI (Consumer Medicine Information), and/or
• A translation into any language of the patient’s choosing
• Creation of alarms to help schedule patients to remember their medication

When the app is set to display in a foreign language the app titles are also shown in English in smaller text, so that a Locum doctor or Emergency Department staff in a hospital can still navigate the OurPillsTalk app to get the patient’s medication information. This will help to reduce Adverse Drug Events.
