| TITLE | Pharmachain: Blockchain-Based Drug Traceability System |
|---|---|
| ABSTRACT | PharmaChain is a blockchain-powered drug traceability and verification system addressing critical challenges in the pharmaceutical industry, where counterfeit and substandard medicines threaten patient safety and undermine trust in healthcare systems. Traditional supply chain systems lack transparency, are vulnerable to tampering, and fail to provide end-to-end verification of drug authenticity. The proposed system overcomes these limitations by leveraging the immutable and decentralized nature of blockchain to securely record every transaction—from manufacturing and distribution to retail and consumer validation—in a tamper-proof digital ledger. Each drug batch is assigned a unique QR code, enabling real-time tracking and authenticity verification across the supply chain. Smart contracts automate compliance checks and transaction validation, while IoT sensors continuously monitor environmental conditions during storage and transport to maintain product quality. The system employs a multi-layered architecture integrating blockchain, IoT, and smart contracts to ensure security, transparency, and efficiency. In short, PharmaChain aims to eliminate counterfeit drugs, enhance traceability |
