Blockchain technology for digitalization of the pharmaceutical sector of the Russian Federation

Abstract

One of the main priorities of the modern healthcare system is the transportation of pharmaceutical products. The drug supply chain consists of many participants. These are drug manufacturers, intermediary organizations, and end users. The biggest problems associated with this transportation are temperature monitoring and the quality of the offered products. This is because many drugs and vaccines remain viable within a certain temperature range. As soon as the temperature regime during transportation is violated, the quality of the medicine decreases sharply. In this article, the author proposes the use of Blockchain technology to solve these problems and focuses on improving the transportation process. In his opinion, a decentralized system based on Blockchain technology is the best technological solution. In addition, the author is developing a concept for the application of Blockchain technologies to create a functioning medical ecosystem.
