Blockchain in Clinical Trials

Update – May 2025 Since my original post six years ago, many of the ideas and proposed blockchain solutions in Pharma and Healthcare remain largely conceptual. There has been limited visible progress in terms of broad implementation. One notable development was the FDA’s pilot project under the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA), which aimed to evaluate interoperability of systems for tracing prescription drugs. The final report was published and described the pilot as successful. However, there is still little publicly available information regarding the cost evaluation of blockchain-based solutions, or the specific technical architectures used (e.g., Web3 identifiers, DAOs, or private blockchain networks). 📄 References 1.

Project Management Software

What is a Project Management System or Project Management Software?  Is there a common understanding on functionality of such system and if it is needed at all?  What systems project managers use for projects? Project Management System should be one to help Project Managers to manage Projects. The word " project " originally meant "before an action" or plan of something. Projects are defined by  PMI  as Temporary endeavor (having start and end) to create a unique product, service or result. Project managers are to manage timelines, budget and scope.  PMI   defines 5 process groups (from start to end) and 10 knowledge areas. Project Management Software definition in Wikipedia is vague and open to interpretations: Project management software has the capacity to help plan, organize, and manage resource tools and develop resource estimates. Depending on the sophistication of the software, it can manage estimation and planning, scheduling, cost contro...
