dc.description.abstractHealth literacy has always been a challenge to 100 percent user absorption rate of medicines. The sad truth is that literacy does not always translate into health literacy. And despite the education levels of people, they do not always understand their medical prescriptions. Worst of all is non-literate patients who do not have the luxury of reading their prescription information off the package of drugs especially when they have more than 3 medications with distinct prescription doses. In this project, I seek to use computer science to communicate prescription information to literate and non-literate patients using visual aids primarily.en_US
