Could you build this?
Partial The cabinet, dosage tracker, and P2P sync are codeable, but a reliable medicine database covering 190+ local drugs and accurate OCR of medicine packaging demand curated pharmaceutical data and carry health and regulatory risk.
What it would actually take: Build as an offline-first mobile app with local storage, an encrypted P2P sync layer (WebRTC or similar with AES-256 keys), and OCR via an on-device or cloud vision model. The hard parts are a curated, accurate medicine database for the target country that is kept up to date, and dosage logic that must avoid medical-advice liability, which calls for pharmacist or clinical input and possibly regulatory review.
