A direct continuation of the Android application RxWatch built for CS 492/599 – Mobile Software Development at Oregon State University with Prof. Rob Hess, Winter 2024.
InteRxactions focuses on providing users accessible information about drug interactions and adverse drug effects for any medication that they may currently be using. The app provides a search box where they can enter the name of the medication for which they are seeking information and allows them to fine tune those results based on filters.
The application has multiple screens. The main screen includes a search bar and button along with a display of the results after a search is initiated. The other screens contain more in-depth information about the results of the search.
All the information that is displayed in the application is taken from the OpenFDA API which is approved and updated by the FDA.
The OpenFDA API does not require a registered account or key.
- Drug Labeling endpoint: https://open.fda.gov/apis/drug/label/
- Adverse Effects endpoint: https://open.fda.gov/apis/drug/event/
A Jupyter notebook to help parse the API data can be found here.
