Abstract

A traceable, transparent, and authentic pharmaceutical supply chain (PSC) could provide a guarantee for drug safety, quality, and a better public health protection. A thorough review of the PSC and future research agenda are necessary to understand the IoT and blockchain applications in PSC provenance. A systematic review was conducted to study how IoT and blockchain could help to cope with the challenges faced by the current PSC. The descriptive and thematic analysis was conducted to reveal the research trends, chronological and geographical distribution of research, and themes. The main findings were focused on the challenges faced by the current PSC, opportunities for implementing IoT and blockchain in PSC, as well as the application of IoT and blockchain in pharmaceutical package and transportation processes. Additionally, the study summarizes the framework of IoT and blockchain integration in PSC.
