Wtf does this do

MediSense AI is a web application that helps patients understand the prescriptions their doctor has given them. A user uploads a photo of a prescription and the system uses AI to read it and explain it in plain language, covering what each medicine is for, how and when to take it, any warnings or precautions attached to it, and whether any follow-up steps are recommended. The front end is built with HTML and described as having a modern, responsive interface, meaning it should work on both desktop and mobile browsers. The back end runs on FastAPI, a Python web framework used to handle the AI analysis logic and serve responses to the browser. The README is brief and does not describe which AI model or service performs the prescription analysis, how prescription images are processed or stored, or what the privacy practices are for uploaded medical documents. Those details are not available from what was provided.

Yoink these prompts

Prompt 1
My FastAPI app accepts prescription image uploads. Help me add a validation step that rejects files that are not JPG, PNG, or PDF before they reach the AI.
Prompt 2
MediSense AI explains prescriptions in plain English. Help me add a disclaimer banner to the UI that tells users this is for informational purposes only.
Prompt 3
The AI sometimes misreads handwritten prescriptions. Help me add a confidence flag to the response so the UI can warn users when the reading may be unreliable.
Prompt 4
Help me add a privacy feature to MediSense AI that automatically deletes uploaded prescription images from the server after the AI response is returned.
