The problem
Patients walk between shops looking for a specific medicine, often discovering it is out of stock. Pharmacies have no easy way to share live availability.
What to build
Build a privacy-respecting service where pharmacies update stock in seconds and patients search by medicine and location, with reservation for a short window.
Success looks like
Search results under two seconds, stock updates in three taps, and a reservation flow that releases automatically if unclaimed.
