Towards the Development of a Common Platform for Pharmacists and Medicine Companies

Access to the modern health system is not prevalent in a developing country like Bangladesh. This paper aims to create an interface between pharmacists and pharmaceutical companies by building a common platform to address this limitation. We have developed an android mobile application where pharmacists can order medications from medicine companies. Pharmacists and medicine companies can register their business (Medicine Company) with this android application (app). Both users have to login to the system using their phone numbers and passwords. The system must verify whether the user is a pharmacist or a medicine company. If the pharmacist or the medicine company is already a member of this application, they access the application by logging in with their mobile number and password. They must complete the signup form as a first-time user of the application at first entry. To build an account, pharmacists and medicine companies can use their mobile numbers once. After completing the registration process, the medicine companies can add their medication to the database. The pharmacist can see several shops with different types of drugs in their windows. He or she can order medicine and make payments through the payment gateway system of the application. This android application (app) offers a faster way to order medication in remote areas. It adds a new era to the medicine business for pharmacists and medicine companies to help the needy people of our country, like Bangladesh.
