AI-ENABLED MEDICATION SAFETY AND ADHERENCE PLATFORM DEPLOYABLE IN SOUTH KOREA: INTEGRATING NATIONAL PRESCRIPTION DATA AND OCR-CAPTURED OTC/SUPPLEMENTS

Abstract

This study proposes a medication management platform designed for real-world deployment in South Korea, leveraging national prescription records (HIRA) and OCR-based capture of over-the-counter (OTC) medications and supplements to address polypharmacy and fragmented medication histories. Polypharmacy-related adverse events are often driven by incomplete medication lists, duplicate therapy, and unrecognized drug–drug interactions. We aim to develop and validate a Software-as-a-Service(SaaS)-based system that consolidates prescription and non-prescription intake into a unified medication profile and delivers personalized safety screening—including dose appropriateness, interaction/duplication checks, and daily maximum dose warnings—using individual characteristics (e.g., age, sex, height, weight).
