I know this is ripe for parody, but this sounds like a perfect blockchain problem:<p>&quot;...therapies must be transported on time and in pristine condition both to and from the manufacturer and ultimately to the treatment site for patient administration. Delays and inconsistent temperatures can reduce the viability of the therapy&quot;<p>1.) You have a product that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars per unit.<p>2.) It needs to change hands multiple times during the production process.<p>3.) If KPIs fall out of range at any point in the chain of custody, its value falls to zero.
