PharmaCrypt: Blockchain for Critical Pharmaceutical Industry to Counterfeit Drugs

This research analyzes the impact of counterfeit drugs on the health-care supply chain industry and evaluates the solutions currently in place to reduce the number of counterfeits coming to the market. Feedback information obtained from industry professionals is used to build requirements for PharmaCrypt, a new blockchain-driven tool.
