Medicine Information Record Based on Blockchain Technology

Abstract

Drug's production recording is one of the most critical processes pharmacy industry. The benefit of recording the drugs is to avoid counterfeit drug. By knowing the exact number of drugs produced will make it easier to track. Counterfeit drugs are still circulating today in the market. Counterfeit drugs are very dangerous even cause death for people who consume it. This qualitative research was conducted using Blockchain technology, which has characteristics such as immutable, unchangeable, and peer-to-peer, which will minimize the possibility of counterfeit drugs. Simulations are carried out using the Multichain application to get a clear picture of how drug production can be recorded in the blockchain (Multichain). This research involved one of Indonesia's largest drug industry companies to give input on Blockchain technology (Multichain) for drug production records. The results, blockchain technology (Multichain), can be used to record drug production. So, it is possible to track the drugs record. This research is very important and useful for the drug industry to ensure the quality of drugs production.
