Securing global health, RxNet combats prescription drug misuse among youth by enhancing security, transparency, and oversight in medication distribution to reduce addiction and improve public health.

The problem RxNet solves

What You Can Use RxNet For:

  • Secure Medication Distribution: Ensure that prescription drugs reach only authorized individuals, reducing the risk of diversion and misuse.
  • Real-Time Monitoring: Track the entire lifecycle of medication from prescription to delivery, making the process more transparent and reducing errors.
  • Access Control: Manage who can access prescription information, ensuring that sensitive data is protected and only available to those who need it.
  • Early Detection of Misuse: Utilize analytics to identify patterns of misuse early, enabling timely interventions to prevent addiction.
  • Informed Public Health Strategies: Use aggregated data to inform policy decisions, helping public health officials develop strategies that effectively combat drug misuse.

How RxNet Makes Tasks Easier/Safer:

  • Simplifies Compliance: Automates tracking and reporting to ensure adherence to regulatory requirements.
  • Improves Accountability: Enhances oversight by providing clear audit trails, making it easier to hold parties accountable.
  • Reduces Human Error: Automated processes reduce the likelihood of mistakes in medication distribution and tracking.
  • Strengthens Patient Safety: By preventing unauthorized access and misuse, RxNet contributes to safer prescription practices, protecting patient health.

Challenges we ran into

Initially, we wanted to develop our solution utilizing the Aptos blockchain. One of the significant challenges we faced was the difficulty in publishing our smart contract on the Aptos blockchain. We were unable to setup our development environment correctly with the Aptos CLI, and after several attempts and consultations with mentors we were still unable to set it up correctly.
This issue led us to pivot to MasChain, where we found a more compatible and efficient environment for deploying our solution. The transition allowed us to overcome the obstacles we encountered and continue developing RxNet without compromising on our goals of security, transparency, and efficiency.

In addition to difficulties with publishing our smart contract on the Aptos blockchain, we also faced challenges with adapting to the MasChain technology. Our team was initially unfamiliar with MasChain's capabilities, which required us to invest additional time in learning and exploring its features. Despite these hurdles, Iniwe managed to navigate through the complexities and leverage MasChain to develop a robust and effective solution for RxNet.
