Abstract

Mobile application integrated with cryptocurrency would be an innovative solution for making medicine purchase in the future. This research work fixates on the design and implementation of a crypto pharmacy - digital medicine utilizing hybrid blockchain technology. We present the concept of crypto medicine that eliminates third-party presence (buy/sell) in a medicine purchase. The proposed design integrates the mobile application with the NEM blockchain. The manufacturer engenders the digital medicines with NEM blockchain namespace, all the pharma products are assigned with NEM cryptocurrency XEM, labeled with a QR code. Our archetype model (perspicacious detector) executes the astute contract that connects all the stakeholders in a pharma supply chain. The proposed mobile application has been prosperously integrated with NEM cryptocurrency by assigning XEM for the medicines, all the transactions are monitored in a blockchain from manufacturer to culminate-utilizer. The mobile application designed utilizing apple iOS integrated with nem2sdk swift framework. This system evades a few millions worth of substandard medicine integrated in the ecumenical market every year. In additament to crypto medicine, the genuine-time monitoring of liquid medicine has been tested with the IoT platform. It fetches the temperature data into the blockchain and authenticates the reliability of medicine for intensive care unit patients.
