IBM launches technology to track medications


IBM will be launching an electronic pedigree, ePedigree system, to help the pharmaceutical industry combat drug counterfeiting. The electronic pedigree system will track medications through the supply chain until they reach consumers. The system uses RFID tags, or radio-frequency identification, to track drug packages, particularly fake ones. The ePedigree system, apart from battling counterfeits, will also keep track of expiration dates and batch numbers in case a drug is recalled. California's ePedigree law requires a history for any medication distributed in the state.
