VaccineLedger: Ensure quality and safety of the vaccines
In response to Describe the core technology and/or underlying data that powers your solution.
I'm curious to have additional details on "If the sensor is attached to a truck, plane, or warehouse, we map the temperature to all the vials of the vaccines that are present in that carrier or warehouse." When is it/is not attached? What affects this choice?
@Jayasree Thanks for your question. Sensor data is just a small subset of data that VaccineLedger collects and records. Apart from that we also capture data such as chain of custody, verification documents, quality reports, purchase orders, shipping documents and so on. This valuable data gives a continuous view of the supply chains.
Today, if someone across the supply chain, for example a nurse in the last-mile, wants to verify the quality and safety of a vial of vaccines she has no way to determine this. Our decentralized solution maps all the above data that I mentioned above to the serial number on that particular vial of vaccine. By doing so, with just one scan using our mobile app they can get every single record of that particular vial of vaccine all along along its journey.
Specifically, on your question about sensors: In today's vaccine supply chains most of the first-mile supply chains(manufacturing plant to handoff to Governments) are monitored with sensors. Some of these sensors are real-time sensors, which transmit data continuously over internet while others are just data collectors, which means you will only get the temperature data at the end of the journey. As we move downstream in the supply chains the temperature monitoring becomes very inconsistent. Our solutions helps identify these gaps and helps the stakeholders make better decisions.
Hope that helps!
