About the Talk
Pillbox is a tool for rapidly identifying unknown pills. It combines high-resolution images of tablets and capsules with FDA-approved appearance information (imprint, shape, color, etc.) to enable users to visually search for and identify an unknown substance.
This is a great tool for poison control, doctors, or anyone who is trying to identify drugs based on pictures and/or descriptions.
Best of all, all the data is public domain and they’re building an API, which will allow other companies to build tools on top of it.
About the Speaker
David Hale works for the NIH as the Project Manager of Pillbox. Pillbox lies at the intersection of his interests: patient safety, biomedical informatics and user experience.
