DIGITAL FINGERPRINT SOLUTION DEVELOPMENT

Adfirmia™, a digital fingerprint solution tackling pharmaceutical counterfeiting and the parallel trade.

Adfirmia™ gives each medicine a unique digital signature, which is generated on the production line from the visible information without adding anything or printing on the product.

The product’s digital fingerprint can then be read with an ordinary smartphone to check that a medicine is not counterfeit, and its digital signature combined with traceability data to combat the parallel trade.

The technology enables both pharmaceutical professionals and patients to identify a medicine’s provenance and authenticity in just a few seconds using their smartphone.

The Adfirmia™ solution is based on a patented algorithm that is now very widely used in consumer goods.
