Why Pill Talk exists

Built because the system was failing patients

I grew up in Appalachia, where access to good healthcare isn't a given. People drove hours to see a doctor, relied on whoever was at the local pharmacy, and often went home with medications they didn't fully understand — not because they couldn't learn, but because the system wasn't designed to explain things in a way that worked for them.

As a pharmacy student on rotation, I kept seeing that same gap. Patients leaving with a bag of pills and a 12-page insert written for someone with a medical degree. Health literacy isn't about intelligence — it's about whether the system meets people where they are. In rural and underserved communities, it almost never does.

I built Pill Talk because plain-language medication education should be available to everyone, regardless of where they grew up, what they earn, or whether they have a pharmacist they can call.

Built for everyone who takes medication
