Alternative Medicine Recommendation System

Abstract

The medicine recommendation system is intended to suggest alternative medicines based on the cosine similarity between a patient's symptoms and the effects of various medications. The system makes use of a database of medications and their indications, as well as a list of symptoms that a patient may exhibit. It vectorizes the data, applies filters, and makes suggestions. Medicines with a higher cosine similarity are considered more relevant and recommended to patients. In the scenario of a medical emergency, when physicians or prescribed medications are unavailable, this recommender serves as a valuable resource. The proposed medicine recommendation system has the potential to help healthcare professionals and patients make educated decisions about alternative medications. The system can reduce the risk of adverse drug reactions and improve patient outcomes by suggesting alternative medicines that are more effective and have fewer side effects. Overall, the proposed medicine recommendation system has the potential to significantly improve patient care by making effective recommendations for alternative medications. It can also reduce healthcare professionals’ workload by automating the process of identifying.
