Workarounds Described

• Asks patient to confirm name and date of birth verbally
• Relies on memory of patient location without systematic check

Implied Software Gaps

• Mobile app that guides nurses through two-patient identifier verification
• Barcode scanning of wristbands linked to patient records

A mobile app that provides a standardized two-patient identifier verification workflow for healthcare settings, including barcode scanning of wristbands and real-time photo verification. It ensures that medication is administered to the correct patient by prompting nurses to verify identity using two independent methods and logging all checks.
