Identification of Counterfeit Drugs Based on Traceability Ontology and Blockchain
Résumé
In the context of drug traceability, counterfeit drugs have a significant influence on customer health and trust towards the manufacturers. Therefore, the awareness of drug safety has led to a considerable need for improved traceability in the supply chain. To do so, we have proposed an approach combining blockchain and semantic web technologies to ensure drug traceability in a secure and trustworthy manner. The main contribution of this work is the construction of the Drug Traceability Ontology, then using this ontology alongside with the blockchain technology to check the drugs authenticity.
