Read the video transcript

Can't read your prescription label? Dhruani reads it aloud. Your pharmacy writes the label to a small tag, from a phone or Windows computer. The tag goes behind the label, or on the bottom of your bottle. Hold the bottle to your phone. The app checks the tag came from an approved pharmacy. Patient: John Doe. Lisinopril, 10 milligrams. Take one tablet by mouth daily. Dhruani. Free on iPhone, Android, and Windows.

Independence, one label at a time

Small print can make it hard to be sure about your own medication. Dhruani gives you a private way to hear what your label says.

  1. Your pharmacy adds a tag

    They write your label to a small NFC tag, and place it behind the label or on the bottom of your bottle.

  2. You set up the free app

    Enter the patient code your pharmacy gives you, once. It unlocks your tags and stays on your device.

  3. Hold the bottle to your phone

    The app reads your label aloud. On iPhone, you may need to tap a notification first. On a Windows PC, use a USB reader.

What you'll hear

Your label, clearly spoken

“Patient: John Doe. Drug: Lisinopril 10 mg tablets. Directions: Take one tablet by mouth once daily. Rx number: 1 1 7 4 9 8 2. Phone: 5 5 5, 1 2 3, 4 5 6 7.”

Sample only. Numbers are read one digit at a time, so they're easy to follow.

Built with privacy in mind

Your label stays on the tag

  • The app doesn't save your label or send it to us.
  • Tags are encrypted, so ordinary NFC apps can't read them as text.
  • Your patient code unlocks the label and stays on your device. It isn't on the tag.
  • The app warns you if it can't confirm that an approved pharmacy wrote a tag.
  • Tags are locked after writing, so nobody can change them.

Anyone with your patient code could open your tag with the app, so keep your code private and your bottle as safe as any medication. The app shows its privacy policy before you start.
