Problem Description: Athletes in all sports must ensure that no substance prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Code enters their body. They are responsible for this under the "strict liability" principle, and cannot rely solely on medical advice. Fulfilling this obligation can be challenging, as medications have complex names and dosages, information sources are difficult to access, and the fast-paced sports environment often means limited time or other priorities. However, it is crucial that athletes can quickly and reliably verify their medications to minimize the risk of bans or career-ending sanctions. They need to be able to independently research their medications and not blindly trust third-party advice.
Develop a mobile app that can quickly scan medication barcodes to inform athletes if the medication is permitted under anti-doping regulations. The app should minimize reliance on external advice, reduce research time, and provide tailored information to help athletes independently fulfill their doping control obligations. Key features include instant compliance indication, optional additional details, and relevant supplementary data - enabling athletes to conveniently access a "personal pharmacist" anytime, anywhere.
CleanScan Sport is designed to bridge the gap in anti-doping compliance by providing athletes with a reliable tool for instant, independent verification of their medications. By integrating this digital solution, athletes can minimize risks associated with banned substances and focus more on their training and competition, without the constant worry of accidental infractions.
