Medichain

The Medichain application tried to tackle the problem of counterfeit medicines (almost 10% of supplied medicines in third world countries ends up fake or stolen!!) by improving the transparency of medicine distribution from start to finish. We used sensors in medicine packaging to automatically trail where the medicine passes through and push this information in a blockchain for immutability. With a QR code scanner the patient at the end of the line can find out if the packaging has been opened or not. We also built a user-interface for governing NGO's to trail everything so that in case something is wrong, they can backtrack exactly where it went wrong or which other medicines might be hoaxed.

We competed with this idea in the biggest blockchain hackathon in the world, Blockchaingers Hackathon 2018. My task was to analyze the business solution and design a functional user-interface, designing all the visuals, and developing the complete front-end of the solution.

Hackathon activities:
- Helping out with transforming the ideation into a technical solution;
- Designing a user-interface based on the business case;
- Creating the styleguide, icons, and visuals for the application;
- Developing the front-end of the application;
- Making fun of Emil and Rik even though they are awesome developers.

First place: Blockchaingers Hackathon 2018, Global Digital Identity track
