Detection of Counterfeit Drugs in Medical Supply Chain Using Blockchain Technology

Abstract

The creation and appropriation of fake medications are an earnest and progressively basic overall issue, particularly in agricultural nations. The fake medicine business estimates around 200 billion dollar yearly. One reason for drug forging is the flawed flexible chain framework in the drug industry. Medicines change possession from makers to distributors, distributors and afterward drug specialists before it arrives at the client. In the current gracefully chain framework, data are not shared between frameworks, makers do not have the foggiest idea what befallen their items, drugs administrative authority has zero ability to see of the framework, reviews are muddled and exorbitant, and organizations cannot subsequent patients. In this task, we disclose how to utilize blockchain innovation in drug flexibly chain to add discernibility, perceivability, and security to the medications gracefully framework. The suggested framework can be utilized for the drug industry to follow the medications from its assembling until it is conveyance to tolerance. The patient’s condition after the medicine has been consumed will be recorded or kept in the network to gain future insights. A permissioned blockchain allows only certain participants to enter in an existing network after the person has successfully gone through the procedure of authentication.
