Did you know nearly 500 million older adults globally face significant polypharmacy risks, with a 50% higher chance of adverse drug interactions when using five or more medications? Additionally, they encounter over two potential drug-food interactions monthly, sometimes leading to disabilities and deaths.
To address this critical concern, we developed EasyMed—an innovative interaction checker painstakingly designed to aid and educate the broader public, with a particular focus on senior adults. Its primary aim is to empower users to swiftly and accurately identify multidrug interactions with deep learning technology, mitigating potential consequences effectively.

We developed DeepDDI, a computational framework using drug-drug and drug-food pairs' compound structural information as inputs to generate 86 important drug-drug interaction (DDI) types as human-readable sentences.
Leveraging cutting-edge AI technologies, we also offer users accessible features including drug and food recognition, text-to-speech functionalities, and clear explanations for complex medical terminology.
