Supply chain and quality control. Tracing the quality control process of raw chemicals is going to be huge because the chinks are notorious for faking analytics. You have no idea how much money we spend on redoing the testing they've already done.

what is the advantage of blockchain in medical supply chain? why is blockchain a better alternative than other methods of collecting data?

>> No.8206791

>>8206699

It's better because it's trustless and can't be changed. When the chinks make a chemical for us they do testing for purity/potency and provide that information to us on a batch by batch basis. The problem is they either fuck up or outright fake that testing all the time. So we have to spent a metric fuckton of money to re-test -every single batch- of chemical we receive. If we could have that data recorded in a way they couldn't alter it would save us so much money.

When we reject a chemical it doesn't get thrown away. They shunt it into second world markets like China, India, Africa. Giving those markets the ability to ensure their drugs were real and unadulterated would save countless lives.

HIPAA compliance and interoperability with other EMRs. Everyone uses their own EMR and office to office, office to hospital, or hospital to hospital communication is an absolute cluster fuck. Getting HIPAA compliance for public facing information will be next to impossible. I don't see EMR as a viable area for blockchain application.

I'm putting together a plan for ethereum smart contract ICO fund raising for a biopharmaceutical startup. The contract and fundraising plan has clearly defined milestones/tranches and hardcoded investor protections, with royalty/milestone payment dividends paid out through token burn, and will register as a securities offering with the SEC. The technology is a proprietary compound platform with multiple use indications. The science is great, but I have difficulty getting VC fun raising as it is still early stage.
Does this look like a viable plan now or say a year from now?

Thanks.

Until regulations pan out more (one of the reasons this is a year out at best), as far as I can tell the only way to make this work is a private placement <1mil$ to qualify under rule 504. Otherwise you cant advertise, investor info is registered, the securities is restricted (so no DEX), etc...

I work in the pharmaceutical industry and have made money on crypto but can't tie them toghether at all.
I managed to buy Mod low and sell it high knowing it would pump and dump and avoided DNA because it was a retarded idea but it pisses me off that that crypto runs off hype and partnerships and my knowledge of the industry doesn't help at all.
