RxScanner
RxScanner is a handheld nano-scanner that detects counterfeit and substandard drugs and was created by Adebayo Alonge under his company RxAll. It uses AI-enabled spectroscopy to analyse a drugs molecular fingerprint and instantly verify it's authenticity. It was designed to combat preventable deaths due to counterfeit pharmaceuticals.[1][2][3]
Functionality
