OTCassist was built by a pharmacist who saw patients every day struggling to make sense of the OTC aisle.
With hundreds of products on pharmacy shelves and limited time to counsel each patient, there was a clear need for a tool that could provide the kind of structured, evidence-based guidance a pharmacist would give in a one-on-one conversation.
OTCassist focuses on the decisions patients most commonly face: which product to pick, how much to take, whether it is safe for their age or medical history, and when to seek professional care instead.
