Sahel: Saudi tool for medicine-food interactions
King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) has launched "Salam," an open-source digital platform designed to verify interactions between medications, foods, and herbs. Its goal is to enhance medication safety and improve the quality of healthcare in Saudi Arabia. The tool is based on an advanced database containing over 9,200 medications, 35 types of foods, and 873 potential interactions. It employs artificial intelligence techniques to detect and categorize possible interactions, providing immediate guidance and alerts to users—whether patients or healthcare practitioners. "Salam" represents an important step toward developing a unified national reference that helps reduce the impact of drug interactions, improve treatment decisions, and support the shift toward using local digital solutions based on Saudi references. The source code for the tool has been deposited on the Government Software Platform to promote collaboration and ongoing development by relevant authorities.
