No, I don’t have any problem to promote braille. Can you tell me how will you print braille on a small box? Please read above message carefully. I think with some practice we can use QR code. Again, I am telling I don’t have any problem with braille. I’m talking only practical things.

What is the problem if some one wants to promote braille? printing of brand name, expiry date, tablet name on braille is company's lookout not ours. let hhim proceed. at least this will create some awareness.

Hello all,

Greetings!
as Saurav said, brand name, expiry date, tablet, name is not possible to print on the package. Because some packets are too small to print braille on it. QR code is the only more accessible and more compatible option for all.

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: https://pharmaphorum.com/news/bayer-adds-qr-code-pack-help-blind-patients

 

Thanks,

Vaibhav

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.
