OptiMed uses a SQL database that is created by analyzing 260000 online pharmaceutical reviews from Drugs.com (Reference). A combination of multiple metrics determines the winner drug for a given user condition:
- User ratings from the dataset
- Sentiment analysis score from user reviews which is obtained using Natural language processing (NLP)
- User distance to pharmacies from this database provided by the Washington Post (currently unavailable)
- Real-time drug prices from WellRx.com
