Abstract
A system and method to establish a no-login authenticated and contextualized two-ways data flow between a medicine user and the pharmaceutical manufacturer. Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, enabling short-range communication between two compatible devices is utilized via a writeable NFC tag carried by a medication package. The writeable NFC tag includes medication information, anti-counterfeiting information, as well as data about the patient and the prescription. The NFC tag may be read by a user device associated with the patient, enabling the user device to merge this data with the patient's feedback, send this rich flow in a secure way to the manufacturer, who in turn is now able to provide rich contextual guidance to the patient.
