SMART CONTAINERS :minimizing preventive health expenses

depositphotos_112290726-stock-photo-preventive-medicine-medical-concept.jpgCurrently the world health organization and other associated organizations seek to do more of preventive medicine in other to reduce the cost of curative medicine. One of the most important process to achieve this is by immunization communities and populations against certain diseases which can prevented.
2550143_orig.png Immunization is normally done using vaccines which are mostly introduced into the body either parenterally(through the skin) or orally.
Vaccines are normally made up of proteins (which are either part of the causative organism of the disease or the whole of the in capacitated organism) which can cause the body's white blood cells to be prepared to fight the real problem if it comes. In general proteins are temperature sensitive and normally loose their function when temperature goes beyond their optimum temperature in a process called denaturation. Leading to the vaccine becoming ineffective. The denaturation mostly is a permanent type for the vaccines.
The biggest problem is that most vaccines have to be transported over long distances to regions in which they are needed . During transportation temperature variations is very high so in other to prevent the denaturation process they have to be transported in a system called the cold chain in which devices and methods are used to keep their temperature under maximum control. Also an up to monitoring of the temperature (and also device function ) has to be done constantly to avoid loss of vaccine functionality.
For example according to WHO study oral polio vaccine is a highly heat unstable vaccine. It uses a VVM2, which means that it is heat stable for approximately 2 days at 37oC (7 days at 25oC, 225 days at 5oC). About 35% of the global polio eradication campaign expenditures goes to vaccine purchases every year. At 14.6 cents per dose, each year over 270 million USD is spent to purchase about two billion doses of oral polio vaccine . About 40 percent of this is lost to causes which includes temperature damage among others.

Smart Containers Group, is a Swiss-based technology company that provides safe temperature-controlled containers to transport sensitive pharmaceutical goods and food around the world.
It has been in operation for about five years and has become the fourth largest pharmaceutical container providers in the world. Their containers are made using insulation system of very high standard and very sensitive temperature controllers.
They have two divisions, the SKYCELL which has been in existence and is mainly concerned with pharma transportation and the FOOD GUARDIANS which is new and will be involved in food products transportation.
Smart containers group currently seeks to improve their logistics system using block chain technology and also improve their companies especially it's new food guardians. To do this they are offering to forms of tokens for investors to buy SMARC token, that grants 20% of future profits and the LOGI token which is a utility token.
