YouTube Video https://youtu.be/1uS2706lO3A Speaker Jim Nasr | VP of Technology and Innovation | Synchrogenix: A Certara Company Abstract This session will develop into the practical considerations and approach taken to develop a large scale distributed ledger technology implementation for tracking drug shortage in the pharma industry, using open API technologies and Hedera Hashgraph. We'll be addressing the rationale and approach for our design and implementation, architectural components, complementary use cases, lessons learned and the roadmap going forward.

10. Getting to World Data

11. Data Insight Continuum

12. Use animation to show immediate app responsiveness
Swipe instead of tap
The finger is not accurate...size tap targets appropriately!
Land Grab for Data
Data as currency
Legacy data largely siloed
and non-interoperable
Open technology: “pipes”
to connect data sources

19. Generic Drug Supply Shortage POC
Active Pharmaceutical
Ingredient (API) Manufacturer
Factory A
Factory B
Hedera
Network
Each API manufacturer can
be declared on the network.
Each API manufacturer can declare a
list of factories and their status (active
or not). Each factory needs to declare
as well their manufactured ingredients.
Distributor
Each distributor can be declared on
the network and defined their stock
availability on ingredients.
Pharmacy
Each pharmacy can be declared on
the network and defined their stock
availability on ingredients.
Group Purchasing
Organization
FDA inspectors can publish their
inspection reports on factory to the
network to identify potential
inactivity of some factories.
FDA Inspection
Team
FDA Regulator
Team
FDA regulators can access data real
time on stock availability, factories
status, inspection reports through a
reporting system to make decision.

22. Our Roadmap
Build uncoupled microservices
Use Open APIs
De-silo Data
Consider on-chain vs. off
DevOps through Cloud OS
Use Open Source
Deploy using containers
Start with private DLT POC
Public DLT through Hedera
Think value creation
Think edge computing
