The doctor behind it

Why ScriptPal was built

β€œPill education is so poor in NZ due to so many factors. I kept meeting patients who couldn't tell me what they were taking and could only explain their pills based off what they looked like. I built ScriptPal to be the advocacy and literacy layer for patients: so you can tell a hospital doctor exactly what you're on and what side effects you're getting, mention any herbal remedies that might interact, and describe your medicines by name instead of by the colour of the capsule.”
HDr. Hannah BrotheridgeMBChB (University of Auckland) β€” Founder and registered doctor, ScriptPal NZ
