| Target Audience |
Individuals seeking ibogaine treatment for PTSD or addiction, especially veterans wary of cardiac safety. |
| Core Feature |
Integrated tele‑health platform that schedules monitored sessions, streams vital signs to clinicians, and auto‑generates compliance reports. |
| Tech Stack |
React front‑end, Node.js API, Firebase Auth, WebRTC video, AWS EC2 for monitoring dashboards, React‑Native for iOS/Android patient app. |

Revenue-ready: subscription‑based clinic portal ($29/mo per clinic) + per‑session transaction fee (5%). |
Notes
- HN users repeatedly stress the need for proper cardiac monitoring and pre‑screening (e.g., “magnesium supplementation”, “constant eeg”). This platform directly addresses those safety concerns, turning a liability into a marketable service.
- Opportunity to aggregate anonymized outcome data, satisfying research‑oriented commenters who lament insufficient evidence.
- Curated database of cough syrups and lozenges that contain only dextromethorphan (DXM) without added ingredients, updated with manufacturer changes.
- Provides dosage calculators, drug‑interaction warnings, and offline PDF guides for safe micro‑dosing.

| Target Audience |
DIY neuro‑hackers, self‑medicating users, and clinicians looking for legal, low‑cost SSRI‑like alternatives to ibogaine. |
| Core Feature |
Search engine with barcode scanning, automatic reformulation alerts, and a community‑verified dosage chart. |
| Tech Stack |
Vue.js front‑end, Python/Scrapy backend for scanning label databases, OpenFDA API integration, PostgreSQL for storing reformulations, Algolia search. |

Revenue-ready: one‑time premium app purchase ($9.99) + optional in‑app purchases for advanced interaction checks. |
Notes
- Commenters note “All the brands changed their recipes in the late 90s” and difficulty finding pure DXM. This tool solves that friction while also educating users on safe dosing, resonating with the safety‑first sentiment in the thread.
Summary
- Centralized, citation‑rich database of peer‑reviewed studies on ibogaine, psychedelics, and PTSD, with risk‑benefit scoring.
- Generates personalized “treatment suitability” reports based on user‑entered health data.

Notes- The discussion highlights “lack of data” and “incentivized not to share adverse events”. By providing transparent, community‑verified data and a standardized risk‑benefit model, the tracker directly alleviates that pain point and would be valued by both the scientific and user‑community participants.
