A pack goes in with a phone. A decision comes out on a screen.
Two surfaces do most of the work. This is what they look like, with a demonstration surgery center’s stock in them.
ON THE SHELF
Capture reads the pack, not your memory of it
The barcode on a US prescription pack already carries its lot number and expiration date. The camera reads them straight off it, which is what stops the wrong batch being recorded.
Where there is no readable code — older stock, compounded medication, an imported pack — it reads the label instead, and tells you to check each field before saving. Nothing is written to the record until a person confirms it.
The screen is dark on purpose. A viewfinder competes with a bright interface, so capture is the one place the product turns the lights down.

ON THE DESK
Inventory shows what you hold, and what is about to go
Every lot, in every location, with the nearest expiration date first. The on-hand figure is not stored anywhere — it is worked out from the movements your team recorded, so it cannot quietly drift away from the shelf.

Reading the screen
The stripe is how critical it is
Critical, essential, routine, non-critical. It decides which shortages matter most — and it is never colour alone, so it survives being printed or read by someone colour-blind.
The next action is the thing to do something about
When stock has fallen under the level you set for it — or the level the system recommended once it had watched you long enough to have an opinion — the row says how many to order to get back to it.
Anything the machine read is set in mono
Lot codes, quantities and dates are typeset differently from the words around them, so a figure never has to be hunted for in a sentence.
See it with your own medication, supplies and implants in it
The fastest way to judge this is to scan something off your own shelf. That takes about a minute.
