ABSTRACT
The traceability of drugs remains a significant issue, especially with the number of products proposed on the Web. Detecting counterfeit products is a challenge, given what these products could represent as a danger to health and the economy. Several studies have been made in the literature and tried to propose solutions. However, several limitations remain. In this context, this paper presents our framework, ChainDrugTrac, for the traceability and detection of counterfeit pharmaceutical products. After studying existing work and identifying the limits, our contributions could be resumed around 1) proposing architecture for drug traceability based on the blockchain and 2) developing a blockchain-based prototype supporting the proposed architecture. The prototype has been implemented to evaluate our proposal and show its effectiveness.
