UNISYS Corporation has announced the launch of PharmaTrack, new software that combines "leading security, advanced data analytics and compliance technology in a single, unified platform to provide life sciences and healthcare companies enhanced visibility and oversight of the entire global pharmaceutical supply chain and thus help combat theft and counterfeit drugs".
As a global IT company with a focus on security solutions, Unisys says "this newest addition to the Unisys ActiveInsights suite of solutions arose from an overlap of industry needs between two industries in which Unisys has deep domain expertise: life sciences and healthcare, and travel and transportation".
According to the World Health Organisation, dangerous counterfeit drugs make up more than 10% of the drug market worldwide while supply chain theft, and materials erroneously compromised by poor environmental quality controls, can cost manufacturers billions of dollars annually and likewise put patients' health at risk.
PharmaTrack can help secure the supply chain using Unisys' cross-platform analytics to "identify and pre-empt fraudulent activity, issuing immediate alerts when product authentication fails".
