Turn a parent's handwritten doctor's note into a clear medication list

When you help care for an aging parent from far away, prescriptions and doctor's notes arrive as phone photos with handwriting, drug names and sometimes another language, and it's hard to know what was prescribed.

How to do it

  1. Have your parent photograph the note or prescription and send it to you.
  2. Ask an AI assistant to transcribe what it can read, translate anything in another language and say what it couldn't read.
  3. Ask it to list each medication, what it's usually for and anything worth asking the doctor about.
  4. Check every dose with the pharmacy or doctor before acting; the writer says the AI misread a handwritten dose twice.
