Substandard and falsified (SF) pharmaceuticals account for an estimated 10% of the pharmaceutical supply chain in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where a lack of regulatory and laboratory resources limits the ability to conduct effective post-market surveillance and allows SF products to penetrate the supply chain. The Distributed Pharmaceutical Analysis Laboratory (DPAL) was established in 2014 to expand testing of pharmaceutical dosage forms sourced from LMICs; DPAL is an alliance of academic institutions throughout the United States and abroad that provides high quality, validated chemical analysis of pharmaceutical dosage forms sourced from partners in LMICs. Results from analysis are reported to relevant regulatory agencies and are used to inform purchasing decisions made by in-country stakeholders. As the DPAL program has expanded to testing more than 1000 pharmaceutical dosage forms annually, challenges have surfaced regarding data management and sample tracking. Here, we describe a pilot project between DPAL and ARTiFACTs that applies blockchain to organize and manage key data generated during the DPAL workflow, including a sample’s progress through the workflow, its physical location, provenance of metadata, and lab reputability. Recording time and date stamps with this data will create a permanent and verifiable chain-of-custody for samples. This secure, distributed ledger will be linked to an easy-to-use dashboard, allowing stakeholders to view results and experimental details for each sample in real time and verify the integrity of DPAL analysis data. Introducing this blockchain-based system as a pilot will allow us to test the technology with real users analyzing real samples. Feedback from users will be recorded and necessary adjustments will be made to the system before the implementation of blockchain across all DPAL sites. Anticipated benefits of implementing blockchain for managing DPAL data include efficient management for routing work, increasing throughput, creating a chain of custody for samples and their data in alignment with the distributed nature of DPAL, and using the analysis results to detect patterns of quality within and across brands of products and develop enhanced sampling techniques and best practices.

Securing the chain of custody and integrity of data in a global north-south partnership to monitor the quality of essential medicines

The annual ConV2X is a leading international health tech symposium driving real world evidence, strategy, research, operations and trends to create a blueprint for a new digital health era. The 2021 symposium featured a scientific program of academic/research presentations in addition to business and industry talks. The research track focused on exploring and sharing developments in blockchain and emerging technologies in health and clinical medicine. Submissions were based on original research, conceptual frameworks, proposed applications, position papers, case studies, and real-world implementation. Selection was based on a peer-review process. Faculty, students, and industry researchers were encouraged to submit abstracts to present ideas before an informed and knowledgeable audience of industry leaders, policy makers, funders, and researchers.

Learn the latest developments, solutions and forward-looking approaches with this technology for healthcare. How do panelists view healthcare delivery systems changing through blockchain-powered technology? What solutions are they spearheading along with new models of collaborations with which they are involved? The panel will highlight how blockchain is leveraged to transform health systems.

Shaping the Future of Healthcare Through Blockchain-Powered Technology

A candid discussion that dives into the recesses of AI and ethics including topics such as what lessons can be used in healthcare from tech players implementing responsible AI and unbiased systems, how can responsible AI help build a clinical support system, examples from providers and payers and learnings from responsible AI which can be used in Obamacare and clinical trial implementation.

Responsible AI in Healthcare: Best Practices to Improve Healthcare Delivery

How is blockchain technology empowering patients and authorities through Asia’s first blockchain solution for supply chain connectivity and traceability for pharmaceuticals and vaccines. With 2 MILLION products on the blockchain network, this scalable initiative controls “pack” vs “batch,” where consumers verify their drug(s) and vaccines are effective, safe and efficacious, while authorities are arresting counterfeit bad actors!

Life Science Business Value of Blockchain Case Use

Topics such as supply chain, clinical trials and health data will be explored along with how blockchian can exist in harmony with GDPR.

Don’t miss this opportunity to glean valuable market intel from leading experts including M&As, NewCos, SPACS, speculative bubbles, evaluating the consumer and provider experience, Big Tech failures and successes and future predictions. Why are public telehealth companies doing poorly and why are “niche” telehealth companies getting so much investor money? What are the major hurdles for the widespread adoption of virtual primary care tools? What are your views on the new entrants in the marketplace such as Amazon Care?

Health Tech Analyst Commentary & Market Watch

The keynote highlights how rising healthcare costs, drivers of waste in the system, and an outdated infrastructure slow innovation and create a poor patient experience. A modern infrastructure that connects the healthcare ecosystem is needed to deliver data liquidity with security. Modernizing the infrastructure of healthcare empowers innovation in blockchain, AI, DLT, and NLP.
