Abstract(s)
A indústria farmacêutica ocupa um lugar de grande destaque na economia global, não
só devido às consequências que exerce na saúde e qualidade de vida da população, como
também devido ao elevado grau de exigência em inovação e soluções tecnológicas. Um dos
principais problemas deste setor consiste em garantir a integridade e segurança da cadeia de
distribuição de fármacos.
A indústria 4.0, também conhecida como Quarta Revolução Industrial, trouxe uma
grande evolução tecnológica que se refletiu, entre outros setores, na indústria farmacêutica.
Apesar de já existirem soluções no mercado, inclusive com a utilização da Blockchain com o
objetivo de diminuir este problema, a verdade é que os últimos dados têm demonstrado que
ainda existem problemas neste setor.
Neste documento será realizado um estudo das tecnologias já existentes e apresentada
uma solução com o objetivo de tentar combater os problemas de falsificação de fármacos
existentes, através de um novo tipo de sistema que consiga controlar todo o percurso de um
produto farmacêutico desde o registo da sua encomenda até ser entregue ao consumidor.

Although there are already solutions on the market, including the use of Blockchain with the aim of reducing this problem, the truth is that the latest data has shown that there are still problems in this sector. In this document, a study of existing technologies will be carried out and a solution will be presented with the aim of trying to combat existing problems about falsification of pharmaceuticals through a new type of system that can control the journey of the medicine from its order until it is delivered to the consumer.
