TrueMed: anti-counterfeit checks for medicine packs, at the pharmacy door and at home. In Nigeria, poor-quality antimalarials alone are estimated to kill 12,300 young children a year (PLOS ONE, 2019), and NAFDAC flagged a counterfeit cancer medicine, relabelled infant milk and fake tablets in 2026 alone. TrueMed puts Meta AI at the two doors every fake must pass. At Gate 1, a pharmacist or licensed chemist snaps each pack on delivery and copied serials are rejected before they reach the shelf. At Gate 2, anyone checks a pack at home in English, Pidgin, Yoruba or Hausa. TrueMed asks where it was bought before revealing where the pack is registered. AI reads and finds the evidence; hard facts decide. Only deterministic checks can return High risk: 2D code vs printed text, cloned serials, NAFDAC alerts, expiry, maker-issued serials. AI judgement alone can only reach Caution, and the user confirms anything the AI read before it can accuse a pack. A screening tool, not medical advice. A working prototype on demo data, not yet connected to NAFDAC; the next step is a NAFDAC pilot. Try it: https://truemed.finessedev.space. Pharmacist PIN 2468. Judge PIN for /admin: truemed-judge-2026.
