Blockchain will improve supply chains, including pharmaceutical

It appears that with new blockchain technologies, the tracking of medications one ordered can become as easy as tracking of your orders from eBay. At least, the pharmaceutical companies promise to develop this. The list of participants of this helpful initiative includes BlockRx, Genetech and Pfizer.

 

Exactly as in the case with that food blockchain IBM is currently developing, this structure will ensure the quality of products supplied and can help to detect points in the net where someone steals the goods or tampers with accounting.

 

Potentially, the United States Department of Health and Human Services can follow in the footsteps of the aforementioned companies once it sees the opportunity to improve healthcare. Healthcare upgrade is one of the most discussed issues in America, and blockchain, while may not be a total panacea, could improve supplies of medication and apparatus to the remote hospitals of the country, and then the experience will be repeated in other countries around the world, helping doctors to always have good tools to fight diseases in store.
