PillBuddy – A Platform to Redistribute Unused Medicines to Those in Need
Every year, large amounts of medicines remain unused in homes, hospitals, and clinics. These medicines are often discarded, leading to wastage and environmental harm, while low-income communities in developing regions struggle to access essential drugs. There is no streamlined, trustworthy mechanism to collect, validate, and redistribute unused but safe medicines to those who need them.
PillBuddy aims to create a secure and transparent medicine-sharing ecosystem powered by ServiceNow.
The platform connects medicine donors (individuals or pharmacies) with verified NGOs and health centers who can redistribute safe, unexpired medicines.
- 🩺 Medicine Listing Portal: Donors list available medicines with expiry, quantity, and packaging details.
- 🔍 Verification Workflow: Local health volunteers or partner NGOs verify donations using approval flows.
- 📦 Matching & Fulfillment: The system matches requests from recipients with available medicines based on location and category.
- 📊 Donation Tracking: Full audit trail from donor → verifier → receiver to ensure compliance and transparency.
- ⚖️ Analytics Dashboard: Displays metrics on waste reduced, beneficiaries reached, and active donors.
