A nurse cannot reliably verify medication administration due to exhaustion-induced memory loss and manual barcode scanning mistakes.

Workarounds Described

• Checking trash bin for discarded blister pack to verify medication was given
• Manually scanning barcode from trash and back-timing administration time
• Relying on memory of pull time from Omnicell display

Implied Software Gaps

• Real-time medication administration verification system that automatically documents the event without manual barcode scanning
• Automated cross-reference of medication waste with administration records to prevent reuse of old packaging

MedVerify Assist

MedVerify Assist is a mobile app that uses computer vision and IoT integration to automatically capture and verify medication administration events in real time. It pairs with a wearable or fixed camera to confirm the nurse's identity, patient wristband, and medication barcode at the bedside, then timestamps and logs the event without manual scanning, reducing errors from fatigue or distraction.
