Mediconnect


Mediconnect is a blockchain technology that supports the supply chain of medication. The goal is to curb excessive medication use and counterfeit medication. By integrating patient prescriptions in the blockchain network of Mediconnect, patients are prevented from collecting medication from multiple pharmacies with the same prescription. This ensures a safer use of medication. Besides this, a serial number combined with blockchain technology also prevents fraud of counterfeit medication. By scanning the code at each point of contact, and saving it in the network, a transparant overview is created of which medication was where, and when. This also means shipments of medication can be traced more quickly in case they need to be recalled. This improves the safety of the healthcare system and prevents unnecessary expenses for preventable care. The convenience of use for the patient is also increased.
