Abstract
The present disclosure describes a system, apparatus, and method involving immutable databases such as blockchains to track and document transportation and administration of sensitive medications and identify potential cases of drug diversion. The disclosed invention uses a transaction recording module to scan unique tags for sensitive medications packs during the transport process. The invention also comprises an image and video capture module, an immutable database, a computation engine, a graphical user interface, and a notification module.
Claims15
A system to track sensitive medication packs, comprising:
- a. a database module configured to receive transaction data from at least one transaction recording module and verify a user's identity using a biometric verification process or a username and password combination, in combination with a previously-recorded verification data stored in the database module, wherein said biometric verification process or a username and password combination is received from the transaction recording module;
- b. an image and video processing module in operable communication with the database module and at least one transaction recording module, wherein the image and video processing module comprise
- i. an image and video capture subcomponent for recording image and video data, and
- ii. an image and video processing subcomponent for extracting drug information, wherein said extracted drug information comprises at least one barcode on a sensitive medication pack;
- c. the at least one transaction recording module, which is in operable communication with the image and video processing module for receiving the extracted drug information and wherein the at least one transaction recording module is also in operable communication with the database module, wherein the at least one transaction recording module is configured to
- i. verify a user's identity using a biometric verification process or a username and password combination, in combination with a previously-recorded verification data stored in the database module;
- ii. generate transaction data comprising at least the drug information and the user's identity verification response;
- iii. transmit transaction data to the database module;
- and
- iv. receive a confirmation from the database module that transaction data was successfully recorded;
- and
- d. a computation engine module, which receives the transaction data from the database module, wherein the computation engine module comprises
- i. a transaction analysis subcomponent for detecting a potential fraudulent activity based at least on the transmitted transaction data, and
- ii. a computation engine graphical user interface subcomponent to communicate the detection of the potentially fraudulent activity to a user.
A system for waste of sensitive medication packs, comprising:
- a. a database module configured to
- i. receive witness user login data from a witness user transaction recording module, verify said received witness user login data, and generate a witness user access token for the witness user transaction recording module if such verification is successful, wherein verification of the witness user login data is done using a biometric verification process or a username and password combination, in combination with a previously-recorded verification data stored in the database module;
- ii. receive waster user login data from a waster user transaction recording module, verify said received waster user login data, and generate a waster user access token for the waster user transaction recording module if such verification is successful, wherein verification of the waster user login data is done using a biometric verification process or a username and password combination, in combination with a previously-recorded verification data stored in the database module;
- b. the witness user transaction recording module, wherein the witness user transaction recording module is in operable communication with at least one image and video processing modules for receiving a witness waste request code and wherein witness user transaction recording module is also in operable communication with the database module, wherein the witness user transaction recording module is configured to
- i. generate a witness waste confirmation code,
- ii. generate witness transaction data comprising at least the witness waste request code and the waster user access token,
- iii. transmit witness transaction data to the database module;
- c. the waster user transaction recording module, wherein the waster user transaction recording module is in operable communication with the at least one image and video processing modules for receiving a witness waste confirmation code and wherein waster user transaction recording module is also in operable communication with the database module, wherein the waster user transaction recording module is configured to
- i. generate a witness waste request code,
- ii. generate waster transaction data comprising at least the witness waste confirmation code and the waster user access token,
- iii. transmit waster transaction data to the database module;
- and
- d. the image and video processing module in operable communication with the database module, the waster user transaction recording module, and the witness user transaction recording module, wherein the image and video processing module comprises
- i. an image and video capture subcomponent for recording image and video data, and
- ii. an image and video processing subcomponent for
- a. extracting the witness waste request code, wherein said extracted witness waste request code comprises at least one barcode displayed on the waster user transaction recording module graphical user interface,
- b. extracting the witness waste confirmation code, wherein said extracted witness waste confirmation code comprises at least one barcode displayed on the witness user transaction recording module graphical user interface.
