AI agent for caregivers
Medication Refill and Supply Agent
No medicine runs out before a refill is in hand.
What it does
When several medicines have different refill dates, one runs out on a Saturday when the pharmacy is closed. The agent counts the supply from the medication log, estimates the run-out date for each medicine and finds those that will run out in the next 10 days. It drafts a refill request for each and notes which need a prescriber renewal first. It then checks the pharmacy's response and the delivery. If a request is not filled before the run-out date, it makes a phone call task for the caregiver and suggests asking for a short bridge supply. The caregiver approves every request. Edge case: a controlled medicine needs a new prescription each time, so the agent asks for it earlier.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
