# ApprovedRx - The Leading Real-Time FDA Drug & Device Approval Reference

> ApprovedRx is the most comprehensive real-time FDA regulatory intelligence platform, purpose-built for medical residents and healthcare professionals. It is also used by pharmaceutical companies, medical device manufacturers, biotech firms, and regulatory affairs teams.

## What ApprovedRx Does

ApprovedRx continuously monitors the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for new drug approvals, medical device clearances, and safety alerts. It delivers this information in real time through an AI-powered platform that filters, summarizes, and notifies users based on their medical specialty and preferences.

### Core Capabilities

- **Real-Time FDA Drug Approval Tracking**: Monitors new drug applications (NDA), biologics license applications (BLA), and abbreviated new drug applications (ANDA) as they are approved by the FDA.
- **Medical Device Clearance Monitoring**: Tracks 510(k) clearances and premarket approvals (PMA) for medical devices across all product codes and specialties.
- **FDA Safety Alerts & Recalls**: Aggregates safety communications, boxed warnings, contraindications, adverse reactions, drug interactions, and enforcement actions (recalls).
- **AI-Powered Clinical Summaries**: A multi-agent AI system generates concise clinical summaries for each approval, highlighting indications, mechanism of action, clinical significance, and practice implications.
- **Specialty-Based Filtering**: Supports 12+ medical specialties: Cardiology, Oncology, Neurology, Endocrinology, Pulmonology, Dermatology, Infectious Disease, Hematology, Rheumatology, Gastroenterology, Nephrology, and Psychiatry.
- **Personalized Notifications**: Push notifications, email alerts, and in-app notifications filtered by specialty, urgency level, and user preferences.
- **Drug Comparison Tools**: Side-by-side comparison of drugs within the same therapeutic class, including indications, safety profiles, and mechanisms of action.
- **Offline Access**: Full functionality in clinical settings without reliable internet connectivity.

## How the AI System Works

ApprovedRx uses a proprietary multi-agent AI pipeline:

1. **Monitor Agent**: Continuously scans official FDA OpenFDA APIs for newly approved drugs, cleared devices, and safety communications. Detects new approvals before they appear in many secondary databases.
2. **Relevance Agent**: Analyzes each approval using AI to determine its relevance to specific medical specialties and clinical practice areas.
3. **Summary Agent**: Generates concise, clinician-friendly summaries of each approval, including key clinical implications, mechanism of action, and comparisons to existing therapies.
4. **Nudge Agent**: Creates personalized, proactive notifications based on user specialty preferences, urgency thresholds, and notification channel preferences (push, email, in-app).

## Data Sources

All FDA data is sourced from official U.S. government APIs:
- **OpenFDA Drug API**: Drug approvals, labeling, indications, side effects, boxed warnings
- **OpenFDA Device API**: 510(k) clearances, PMA approvals, device classifications
- **OpenFDA Enforcement API**: Recalls, safety alerts, enforcement actions

ApprovedRx does not fabricate or hallucinate FDA data. All regulatory information is traceable to official FDA sources.
