The Problem

Drugs are arguably one of the most important innovations in human history. Drugs range from those used for a simple headache, to those that help with treatments of otherwise terminal illnesses. Due to the money involved surrounding pharmaceutical industry, it comes as no surprise that there is fraud which aims to take advantage of this multi-billion dollar industry.

Problem 1: Dangerous Fraud

Estimates put the number of counterfeit drug victims, resulting in death, are in the range of 120,000 to 1,000,000.

The estimated number of people that die due to counterfeit drugs is estimated to be in the range of 120,000 to 1,000,000 every year. These are individuals who are receiving the wrong, fake or simply dangerous drugs being misrepresented as a different drug.

Problem 2: Supply Chain Cost

Cost of drugs is a widely debated issue all over the globe. A part of the price is due to the cost that pharmaceutical companies incur in their supply chain process. This administrative cost is passed on directly to the consumer, causing drugs that could be affordable to skyrocket in price.

The FarmaTrust Blockchain Solution

Both of the problems stated above are caused by an inefficient and outdated supply chain system. FarmaTrust presents a solution that cleverly utilizes the blockchain in order to track drugs from their production facility to the hands of the consumer. This gives consumers the power to check the legitimacy of their drugs, thereby significantly reducing the risk of being defrauded.

FarmaTrust also benefits the companies who could reduce their supply chain costs while still adhering to regulatory bodies' strict rules. FarmaTrust will allow pharmaceutical companies to automate the reporting process, cutting out the extra expenses incurred in the process!

The Perfect Blockchain Fit

In order to solve the problems in the current world of pharmaceutical supply chains, a tool is needed. That tool should possess the following qualities.

Not dependent on one centralized body.
Immutable ledger
Ability to scale
Transparent
Very secure

Up until recently there was no solution that could offer all of these qualities. In fact, it was quite unimaginable that it ever would.

FarmaTrust obviously found a perfect fit in the blockchain! It is the exact technology required to overhaul the modern day logistical nightmare and turn it into an efficient, cost effective, transparent and ultimately safe method of supplying drugs to the patients.

FarmaTrust has a front-end demo available here:

FarmaTrust had many social media outlets.

Check out the FarmaTrust CEO Interview, or go to their FarmaTrust Telegram channel if you have any questions! The team is passionate and active about the project!

FTT & ZOI Tokens

FarmaTrust works on FTT and ZOI tokens. FTT tokens can be staked to receive ZOI tokens. The ZOI tokens are then used on the FarmaTrust Zoi platform. The ZOI tokens are an internal currency to be used and traded only on the Zoi platform. They are for use of FarmaTrust services. The FTT tokens on other hand are exchangeable. The ZOI tokens are used to create Compilance Tracking tokens which are used for tracking serialized product keys of products.

Hey, @ianmcg I feel your pain man. It sucks to poor hours of work into a post and not see even a cent for your effort. It's even more painful to see others post absolute crap and get tens if not hundreds of dollars for it, we can’t help but compare ourselves to them and think what are they doing that we're not?

The truth is that this is a far from perfect system, there are too many people coming here to post there content and not enough people coming here to read content. The best way I've found to see Steemit is as a platform that incentivises interaction and community building rather than the content itself. Which is fine, but it just means that the role of content is different than say that of a Medium post. The content here instead plays a role in the interaction with others.

I’m an academic psychologist (like you? I’m guessing from your profile and a few posts of yours I’ve seen) and write academic papers for work, however here I’m willing to bet that style won’t pass. So I’m trying to find a style that is accessible to everyone and gets a single interesting point across as quickly as possible. I’ve also decided to change all my posts to 100% steem power, mainly just so I don’t think of the incentive as money but instead as the ability to help shape a community. I’ve also learnt not to be too precious with my posts; write it, post it and move on to the next.

I’m sure this platform won’t be for everyone but if you do want to stay around you may find that the benefit comes in time. Good luck and here wishing you happy blogging!

Thank you for the support and the suggestions. I may switch to steem power 100% as well. I'm more interested in building on the platform than making money too. I think my real problem is I'm not using bots. I have tried to avoid it, but it seems like the only way to get anyone to read. It's really hurts morale when you haven't made more than 0.03 SDB on anything... and browse the trending and see single picture posts making 30+ SDB. I makes me think my articles suck, but I guess I'm just not well enough connected or exploring the bots.

Yeah, so i posted this before I read your addiction post, which was great. I think time is likely all you need, that and engaging in the community. And if little comes from it straight away its still worth more than posting on wordpress or medium. All you have to lose here is time! And for me that was going to go into one of many online platforms anyway so might as well be this one.
