Hello,
All the information need not be printed in braille.
Important details like name, grams, expiry date, etc. is sufficient.

There is a lot of info in print on the medicine packets. Cannot
imagine how all of that in Braille would fit on the packet.

Hello,
My thought is that braille is not understood by all blinds,
specially many late blinds, posing a challenge in such solution.
Of course QR code can come with its challenges too.
In Europe, companies like AZ have adopted including QR in their
medicine packets already as part of their accessibility and
carbon emission initiatives. I recently attended a webinar on
that. Here's an article talking about one such:

Hi George sir,
You do make a point.
In-fact, I am surprised that I tweeted such a request being
the geek I am.
But what I realised is that having braille on the medicine
packet will save us the extra step of taking out or finding
the phone, opening the app and scanning the packet.
It will also be handy while looking for medicines at the
store because you don't have to occupy one hand with the phone.
The QR also doesn't work quickly because you have to first
scan it using the audio feedback and then it will work.
That too not guarantied because some QRs I tried didn't
work despite scanning them.
Feel free to agree or disagree.

I think all medicines must have QR codes on them which
spells out all that is written on the medicine package.
Going forward everything is going to be digital.

Hi group,
Sharing below my X post on requesting Dava India, a
generic pharmacy to use braille on their medicine packets.
Please support my initiative to move towards a more
accessible environment.
