โa modernized prescription software that generates unique QR codes for medical prescriptions. This innovation aims to enhance efficiency, reduce errors, and streamline the healthcare process for patients, doctors, and pharmacies alike.
๐ก๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ป๐๐ฝ๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป:The idea for PresQRx was sparked by a common frustrationโmany people struggle to read handwritten prescriptions, a pain point often highlighted in patient interviews. With the growing popularity of QR codes across industries, the team saw an opportunity to apply this technology to healthcare. PresQRx allows patients to present a QR code at pharmacies, speeding up the process, reducing errors, and enabling digital storage of prescriptions to prevent loss.
๐๐ง๐ต๐ฒ๐ถ๐ฟ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐ป๐ฒ๐: Initially, the team set out to develop a school material and equipment renting service for their capstone project. However, as they advanced in their validation process, guided by InTTO, they pivoted to PresQRx after realizing its greater impact and scalability. As part of the InTTO Startup Incubation Program, PresQRx received support in product development and gained valuable exposure through various exhibits. The teamโs hard work paid offโthey won the UC Technopreneurship Demo Day 5 and secured third place at the DICT PSC Regional Pitching Competition - CAR.
