Wellgistics Health and DataVault have signed a non-binding letter of intent to create manufacturer-to-patient, blockchain-enabled smart contracts that will utilize the former’s proprietary PharmacyChain technology and physical infrastructure. The companies plan to target the full digital tracking of prescription drugs from script to fulfillment. The goal is to share revenue from fees generated by this tracking system.
Prashant Patel, President and interim CEO of Wellgistics Health, said, “Improving patient access to prescription medicines by minimizing administrative burden through blockchain-enabled smart contracts is the next logical step to help pharmacists ensure that patients get their medicines on time and on budget. We are ensuring that we will have the ability to conduct business over the long-term and build our ecosystem in a way that will allow us to increase our market share and margins as we expand into new markets.”
