Abstract
The supply chain is a complex network in healthcare that crosses organizational and geographical borders. The inherent complexity of such structures can introduce impurities inclusive of erroneous facts, lack of transparency, and restricted records provenance. In the healthcare business, counterfeit pills are one of the major reasons for the harmful impact on human health and also for financial losses. Thus, pharmaceutical supply chains and end-to-end tracking systems are the recent research in healthcare. In this paper, we propose blockchain based traceability of counterfeited drugs (BBTCD) that implements tracking of counterfeited drugs using smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain. We propose a solution to fully decentralize the tracking in healthcare by storing BBTCD on IPFS (Inter Planetary File System) to provide transparency, cost-effectiveness.
