Objective Re-establishment:

The objectives of our project were reconsidered and we finalized with what was meant to be, and they are as follows:

1. Develop a supply management system where the data can be accessed globally.
2. Track the supply details which will be embedded in the packing.
3. User able to check validity of the drug and should be able to distinguish between counterfeit and authentic drugs.
4. Ensure brand safety.
5. Alert the authorities if activity is found to be malicious.

Method of approach:

• Various approaches were considered and evaluated with their advantages and disadvantages along with ease of their implementation.
• A method was chosen and it has the following approach to tackle the problem.

1. The drugs’ packages are labelled with QR code.
2. The QR code holds a unique ID which is pseudo-random generated.
3. The same ID is pushed to block-chain.
4. Once the drug is scanned by the pharmacist the application checks its fidelity.
5. If not present in block-chain then it alerts it as a fake.
6. If present it alerts as valid and flags the item.
7. If the same item is scanned again it no longer alerts it as valid.
8. This way we will be ensuring even if a counterfeit is generated it can only be generated once.
