In this pandemic era, healthcare products have gained immense significance in the lives of humans . However, it pains to know that around 10% of the global pharmaceutical commerce worth an estimated $21 billion involves counterfeit drugs.
A WHO study revealed that nearly one half of the documented cases of drug counterfeiting were reported in developing countries like India, The Philippines, China and Vietnam.
So, in our country, even if we spend huge sums of money on buying healthcare products to alleviate our sufferings, we can’t be sure whether the product is genuine or not.
While implementing the QR code scanner, the main problem we encountered was that it was always refreshing after each scan. So we took a step forward and implemented a single-shot capture.
Another problem we faced was how to link the solidity program of the blockchain to the front-end and the back-end of the project, which we solved using web3 python library.
