HerbCure
Abstract
Many individuals depend on synthetic medications without confirming their suitability for specific symptoms. This lack of awareness about natural remedies and medication composition often leads to inappropriate treatment choices. HerbCure is an AI-driven platform that solves this — users upload a photo of any medicine and input their symptoms to instantly verify whether it's the right choice, with herbal alternatives suggested from a verified ingredient database.
Objective
- Develop an AI system that verifies medicine accuracy using an image-based Ingredient Processor.
- Suggest natural herbal alternatives from Ayurveda when a synthetic medicine is not the best match.
- Provide detailed information on medicine composition and its suitability for given symptoms.
- Enable a 3D Herbal Garden for educational exploration of medicinal plants.
