Overview
PharmaTrace is a Blockchain-as-a-Service platform for pharmaceutical and healthcare stakeholders. It connects pharma companies, pharmacies, insurers, distributors, suppliers, and hospitals through one secure ecosystem. The platform supports product traceability, serialization, recalls, audits, insurance claims, patient records, smart contracts, and AI-based chronic disease forecasting.
Research
The research focused on supply chain visibility, compliance, fraud prevention, patient data security, and forecasting.
| Research Area |
Key Finding |
| Supply Chain Tracking |
Pharma tracking was fragmented across companies, distributors, and pharmacies. |
| Counterfeit Risk |
Stakeholders needed stronger verification of medicine origin and movement. |
| Compliance Processes |
Serialization, recalls, audits, and reporting were slow and manual. |
| Patient Records |
Healthcare data needed secure and trusted access across providers. |
| Insurance Claims |
Claims and payments required automated verification to reduce fraud. |
| Forecasting |
Stakeholders needed better insights into disease trends and demand shifts. |
| Global Scalability |
The platform needed to support local and global healthcare transactions. |
The research showed a need for a secure shared system that improves traceability, automates compliance, and supports data-driven healthcare decisions.
