Listen Later

In today's emerging BioPharma space, the importance of transparent and accurate records related to therapies, how they are made, where they are in a process, and the patient they are for has never been more important.

A need this large should not be relying on technology from 30 years ago. The Pharma 4.0 world has a lot of components...One way of helping the Pharma Industry catch up with the technologies they are creating is by utilizing Blockchain.  On today's episode, Najib Rehman from ATMPS and Tanya Sharma from Assurea, join me to talk about how Blockchain can be used to help our industry make a JUMP towards more available therapies for more people.    

Here are some things we discuss today:  

  • Explain Blockchain to me like I'm a 10 year old.  
  • Who owns blockchain? It has a reputation for being very secure...why is that?  
  • Why are you advocating for using blockchain in the Pharma Industry? Are there particular areas within the industry that blockchain is best suited for?  
  • Is there a certain level of adoption needed to make this "work" or is the infrastructure already in place?  
  • How does blockchain impact 21 CFR Compliance?   
  • What downsides are there to instituting blockchain?  
  • How does using blockchain as a tool in Pharma help to serve the patient?  

    • Some other items that we touch on are: 

    • Need for competitor cooperation 
    • Paper versus digital 
    • Digital disintermediation of supply chains 
    • Personalized medicine - patient centric  
    • How do you "manage forever"?
