These errors can be seen everywhere, whether it is a hospital or a small clinic.
Most of the time it had been observed that the patient had to spend more time in the hospital due to improper dosage in medicine prescription. One in 10 patients is harmed while receiving hospital care.

that medicine to the patient which can create error due to the fact that many drugs have similar names sound as same

The whole body of the patient is being analyzed and based upon that particular medicine is prescribed.
The system also does analysis that if any side effects and reaction with other medicine can be occurred or not, if so the system will also generate the message for the doctor which is further examined.
