  Whitepaper: Digitally Enhanced Reference MaterialsDownloadBlockchain-based trust for better quality control
|
How can blockchain-tech drive improvements within reference material handling?Reference materials are a staple in modern life sciences. They enable an unknown sample to be compared with a known material. For that, being able to trust the reference is what it says is essential. Together with Merck, we created a blockchain-based digital trust enhancement to optimise existing processes and enable a wide range of future use cases. |
The Covid-19 crisis served as proof that digital transformation is essential. For many enterprises, it acted as a catalyst to move to fully digital business models. According to our Covid-19 survey, 70% of companies are planning to accelerate automation and new ways of working. To spearhead this digital disruption in life sciences, PwC and Merck have joined forces to develop a blockchain-enabled vision to advance the industry in several key areas. One of them is reference materials. Digitally enhanced reference materials enable a completely new level of digital trust around quality data generated in analytical quality control labs. They drastically change the way test results can be exchanged, enabling fully trusted machine-to-machine exchanges within and beyond company borders. While this requires innovation across multiple areas, some technologies are crucial to build the groundwork for future developments of digitally enhanced reference materials. In this whitepaper, we make the case that the blockchain is one of them and show, why our joint project with the multinational science and technology company Merck is a prime example for this assessment. |
