Case study

Real packs, checked by the CorrectMED team

A real receipt, real packs, and what came back.

The CorrectMED team bought these packs over the counter at a pharmacy in Abuja, with one itemised receipt. The team photographed the receipt and the packs and put them through CorrectMED the way a receiving desk would, with a script doing the clicking. This page shows the reads and the results as they came back: what CorrectMED AI read, where it was wrong, what it could not read and what the check made of it. The only edit to anything CorrectMED returned was setting the unit to packs on the three lines, shown in the quantity rows of the check where it happened.

What went in

Three items bought over the counter at a pharmacy in Abuja with an itemised receipt: Oral-B family toothpaste, Zolat caplet and Emzor ParaNight. The toothpaste is not a medicine. The receipt lists a quantity of one for each item.

The pharmacy receipt with the store name, phone lines, date and cashier covered by grey bars. Three item lines, the total and the receipt number can be read. — The receipt. The published receipt copy is redacted. The store name, the district, city and phone lines, the date and time and the cashier's name are covered. The read was made from this redacted copy, so it gave no supplier and no date. The receipt number, the three item lines, the totals and the footer are readable.

Receipt lines, as printed

The three lines on the receipt, with quantity and price as printed.
Qty	Product	Amount
1	ORAL-B FAMILY SI	2,000.00
1	ZOLAT CAPLET *2	500.00
1	EMZOR PARANIGHT	1,000.00
Total		3,500.00

CorrectMED read that same covered copy, so it gave no supplier and no date. The team named the supplier when it made the receipt. The receipt shows the sale; it does not say who made each pack.

Checked by the CorrectMED team on the CorrectMED app, in a sandbox workspace on the local test build, with live CorrectMED AI. The team is not a customer, pilot, partner or user.

The pack photos

Each pack photo was added to the receipt line a person would choose. The Zolat pack photo shows the back panel only, and no brand name is printed on it. Its link to the ZOLAT CAPLET line rests on the team's word that it is the pack that was bought. The toothpaste photo is the same: its face prints only the P&G logo and the word Toothpaste, so its link to line 1 also rests on the team’s word.

Red carton, back panel. French panel with no brand name. Bought as line 2.
Emzor ParaNight carton, front. Bought as line 3. The batch is embossed on the moon.
Magnesium glycinate bottle. Not on the receipt, never uploaded, never read.

Toothpaste carton (P&G), long side panel. Not a medicine. Bought as line 1.
Emzor ParaNight carton, side panel. Narrow panel, cut off at the left edge. Bought as line 3.

A magnesium glycinate supplement bottle was photographed with the others. It is not on the receipt. The app asks which line a pack photo belongs to before it accepts the photo, and the bottle belongs to no line, so it was not uploaded and CorrectMED AI never read it. The photo is kept only as a picture of what was left out.

How the check was run

A script on the team’s test workspace did the clicking for these steps, and later started the alert run and pressed Run the check again.

Signed up on the local build and confirmed the address through the local outbox.
Made a receipt for the supplier "Pharmacy in Abuja (bought over the counter)".
Added the receipt as the note page and waited for the read.
Added each pack photo to the line a person would choose.
Counted 1 pack for each of the three lines.
Because the note gave a quantity without a unit, the app asked what the note counts in, and the team set the unit to packs on each line. The history shows these as edits by staff.

One run on the local test build. Every photo was read once. The app made one read per photo, started no second reader, and needed no automatic retry.
The script that drove the desk stopped once at the unit step of the first line, after all five reads had finished. It was continued from the same receipt without starting any read again. The team then set the unit to packs on each line, the only change to what the app returned.
No decision was recorded. Accept, quarantine and reject are a pharmacist's job, so the receipt is left waiting for a decision.

What CorrectMED AI read

For each photo, the boxes are the ones CorrectMED AI drew, in its own coordinates, and the list beside it is what it returned. A value it is sure of is marked clear. A value it can’t make out is marked unclear, says Could not read, and never reaches the rules that make the result.

The app’s own Reading screens draw no box around a barcode, but the read it stores includes one. The boxes here are the stored ones, so a photo can show more boxes than the Reading screenshot in part 6 does.

Every photo was read once, by the first reader. No second reader started and no read had to be retried.

Solid blue outline, plain number: clear
Dashed amber outline, number and a question mark: unclear
Empty dashed circle: no box on the photo for this value

Checks that couldn’t run

Packaging comparison: no approved reference for this product.
Batch: it couldn't be read on the note or the pack, so alerts were checked without it.

The alert check, run twice

The run’s own check. It used a local copy of the NAFDAC alerts that held 422 notice rows. None had been checked and approved, so an exact match could not happen. Every line said No match, and that said nothing about whether these products appear in a NAFDAC notice.
The copy, brought to its checked state. The app’s own alert run, the one it makes every day, was then started from a script on the team’s workspace. It confirmed all 89 stored notices against NAFDAC by their ids (none changed, none new). Its automatic text check then approved 294 of the 422 rows, the ones whose product, strength, batches and NAFDAC number appear word for word in the notice. 66 medicine rows still wait for a person, and 62 rows are not medicines. The run made no CorrectMED AI calls.
The check, run again. A script then pressed Run the check again on the team’s receipt. That works out the check again from what was already read and counted. No photo was uploaded and none was read again: the receipt still shows 5 reads, one for each photo.
What came back. Every line gave the same result as the first check, with the same NAFDAC alert status and the same findings. No row in the alert copy names any of these products. For lines 2 and 3 this time No match is an answer from the approved alert copy, not the result of nothing being approved. The 66 medicine rows still waiting for a person are in the check as well and could still give an uncertain match for a person to look at. None did. Line 1 is toothpaste, and the alert check skips notices about non medicines, so a notice about a toothpaste could never match: its No match is not an answer about toothpaste notices. No match in the NAFDAC alerts checked. This doesn't show the medicine is genuine or safe.

How accurate the reading was

Two independent blind readings of the original photos were made at full size by AI readers separate from CorrectMED AI, without sight of what CorrectMED AI returned or of each other. Where the two agreed, that is the truth the read is scored against. Where they differed or the print could not be settled, the original was looked at again, and anything still uncertain is listed below and left out of the counts. One barcode digit on the Emzor side panel is blurred at full size, so it is fixed by the barcode’s check digit, not by sight. CorrectMED AI read the web size copy of each photo shown on this page, while the scoring looked at the full size originals with zoomed crops.

29 of 33 printed values right, 4 wrong

36 more fields print nothing, and CorrectMED AI correctly left them blank. 8 of 8 judgements about the photo (whether it is a pack, and which side of the pack) were also right; they are not printed text, so they are not in the printed count. One more prints nothing and CorrectMED AI still gave a value, which counts as invented. Together that is 78 fields scored.

The summary in words

Across five photos, 78 fields could be scored against the print. 37 were read exactly, 36 were correctly left absent because the face does not print them, 2 were unclear and wrong, 2 were misread, 1 was invented, and none were missed. The two misreads were both on the Emzor side panel and both were marked clear: the app read the form as capsule when the carton says Caplet, and it read the barcode with a 3 where the print has a 5, so that barcode fails its own check digit. The two unclear and wrong reads are the embossed batch on the Emzor front, which came back as 846F when the first character is a single ring (0, O or Q) and not an 8 though the 46F after it is right, and the first active name on the side panel, which the app flagged unclear and gave no text for because the photo cuts the word off. Every embossed value on the Emzor front was marked unclear, which is why that line was left as unable to assess. Four fields are left out of the counts because the print or the definition cannot be settled: the embossed manufacture date and expiry (partly legible), whether the receipt's '*2' is a pack size, and whether a sales receipt that prints 'Invoice Amount' is an invoice or other. The invented value is the manufacturer on the Emzor front: the face prints the Emzor logo as the brand and no manufacturer statement, both blind readings recorded the field as not printed, and the app returned Emzor marked clear, so it took the brand logo as the manufacturer. The Oral-B and Zolat packs print no product name on the faces photographed, so the app correctly returned none, which is why the check showed those two lines as an unnamed pack. The magnesium bottle was never uploaded and is not scored. Most of the exact reads are short, printed text on clean cartons, and the fields the app got wrong are the hard ones: an embossed code, a blurred barcode digit, a word cut off by the photo edge and a brand logo taken as a manufacturer.

What it can't tell you

Each limit here showed up in this check. None is hypothetical.

Not every pack is a medicine.
Toothpaste went through the same desk and was read like any pack. CorrectMED AI read it as a pack with sodium fluoride and a form of other. The check has no reference for toothpaste, so it stays Reference unavailable. The alert check also skips notices about non medicines, so a notice about a toothpaste could never match, and line 1's No match is not an answer about toothpaste notices.
A panel that doesn't print a value gives none.
The toothpaste carton says its batch is on the tube end, which is not in the photo. The red carton's back panel and the Emzor side panel print no batch or expiry. A value that is not in the photo can't be read, and the check says so instead of guessing.
Embossed print is the hardest to read.
The Emzor batch, manufacture and expiry are embossed on a graphic. Every one came back unclear, so the batch could not be compared or checked against alerts and the line is Unable to assess.
Packaging needs an approved reference.
A pack is only compared with a reference a person has approved for that product. There was none for any of these three, so no line could get a packaging comparison.
A photo without a name can't name itself.
The Zolat pack photo shows the back panel only, and no brand name is printed on it. Its link to the ZOLAT CAPLET line rests on the team's word that it is the pack that was bought.
No match is only as good as the alert copy.
At the first check, 422 notice rows were in the local copy and none approved, so an exact match could not happen. After the copy was brought to its checked state (294 rows approved) and the check was run again, the result was the same. 66 medicine rows still wait for a person, so a No match means no match in the approved rows and those rows, and says nothing about a notice that is not in the copy. For line 1, the toothpaste, a notice about a toothpaste could never match, because the alert check skips notices about non medicines; a medicine notice that shared its name still could.
It checks what it is given.
The magnesium bottle was not on the receipt and the app asks for a line before it accepts a pack photo, so it was never read or checked.

A visual match, or finding no alert, is not proof that a medicine is genuine or of good quality.

The real app

Screenshots are of the real app. Every date and time of the run (received on, counted and edited times, the alert copy's update time) is blurred in the published images. Pack expiry and manufacture values, item names, results and the audit ID are not blurred.

The Sandbox label and the banner that says sample or test documents are the app’s own marking for any sandbox workspace. They say nothing about these photos, which are the real receipt and the real packs.

4. Check. The Check section: each line's result, quantity, expiry, NAFDAC alerts and packaging. Run dates and times are blurred. This was taken at the first check, when none of the 422 alert rows in the local copy had been approved, so every line says No match. The local test build marks the alert copy as current, which is why the green Up to date badge shows. After the alert check was run again, with 294 of the 422 rows approved, this section looked the same, because every line gave the same result. That is why there is no second image: nothing on the screen changed, and the approved rows are not visible in it. No photo was read again. Open the full image of check
