ChemistWise is an AI-powered pharmacy companion that gives patients instant, reliable guidance on prescription and over-the-counter medications. It helps people feel confident and informed, anytime, anywhere.
Have you ever walked out of a pharmacy or a GP clinic with a new medication, but not so sure on how to use it?
Ever wondered why there are 6 different bottles of cough medicine on the shelf but the wait for the pharmacist is too long, so you decide to google what to take instead?
Why did we create ChemistWise?
Many patients walk away from pharmacies without receiving adequate information about how to take their medications safely, what side effects to expect, or how different drugs may interact, often because pharmacists are overwhelmed, queues are long, or patients are hesitant to ask questions.
Pharmacists working in busy community settings face high workloads and time pressure, which can result in inconsistent or rushed counselling, and in some cases, no counselling at all. This contributes to preventable medication errors, poor adherence, and avoidable hospitalisations.
Patients also frequently struggle to choose the right over-the-counter product for common ailments, leading to misuse or duplication, especially when multiple products appear similar on the shelf.
What is ChemistWise?
ChemistWise is an AI pharmacy companion that puts trusted, easy-to-understand medication advice at patients’ fingertips anytime they need it. Whether someone has just picked up a prescription, missed a dose late at night, or is standing in front of a crowded over-the-counter shelf unsure what to take, a chat with ChemistWise provides clear, reliable, and personalised guidance in real time.
How does ChemistWise work?
By drawing from verified medication databases, regulatory guidelines, and clinical best practices, ChemistWise can answer questions about medication use, missed doses, side effects, interactions, storage instructions, and more. It also helps patients make safer choices when selecting over the counter medications, reducing the guesswork and internet rabbit holes.
