Use Case or Experience Flow

A woman in a drought-prone village selects “Joint Pain & Fatigue” and gets turmeric capsules, magnesium, and a pain balm. She speaks with a licensed pharmacist who approves a 3-week vitamin D3 supply.

Employees use their office health wallet to grab “Sleep Ease Pack” after a night shift: Ashwagandha, melatonin, herbal tea, and lavender balm. All tracked and restocked by AI.
