Testing Apple's Drug Interaction Checker - How Accurate is it?
Note: These features were tried on iOS 16.5, and on iOS 17 Developer Beta 1.
I tried to put Apple’s drug interaction checker to the test, and let me start off by saying that overall it does a good job of catching interactions. It’s not perfect though, and can even be dangerous. That is why you should always consult your care team to determine if any medications need to be stopped or changed based on your health situation.
With that being said, let me set the scenario here.
I used a bunch of drugs to test out Apple’s system, and to see how well it can track drug interactions and interaction factors.
