Paper or Dawaaka? An honest comparison.
Signed, stamped paper works and stays the document of record. Dawaaka adds legibility, verification and a record without changing how you work.
The comparison
| Criterion | Paper prescription | Dawaaka Rx |
|---|---|---|
| Legibility | Depends on handwriting and can be hard to read. | Clearly printed, with Arabic directions under every line. |
| Verification | Signature and stamp only. | Signature and stamp as usual, plus a code and QR as extra assurance. |
| Time | Fast once you are used to it, but rewriting the same prescription takes time. | A template in two taps or dictation, plus a short review of every line. |
| Records | No record except what the doctor keeps by hand. | Patient medication history and an uneditable activity log. |
| Patient privacy | The paper stays with the patient; whoever sees it sees everything. | The patient chooses the pharmacy, which sees name, age and medicines only; links expire. |
| Cost | The cost of printed prescription pads. | Basic plan free forever; founding plan at EGP 149/month for the first 100 clinics. |
Either way, the doctor is the prescriber and only licensed pharmacies dispense.
