Blockchain technology is now used for much more than just Bitcoin & Co. The basic characteristic behind it is to write data forever in blocks and thus make it freely accessible to everyone. The technology is particularly useful for supply chain verification and for the authenticity of the data.

In the pharmaceutical industry, too, the block chain solution is gradually becoming a guarantee of authenticity. For this reason, a pilot project has been launched in the USA to use the block chain to verify the authenticity of medicines.
The project aims to ensure that drugs can be verified and tracked. In addition, a possibility is to be created to enable a cross-system solution for drug manufacturers. Those responsible for the project are confident that their solution will be patient-oriented and user-friendly. With their complete turnkey solution, they want to enable healthcare professionals and patients to provide the latest digital, networked healthcare services.
