This kills the diabetic.
Though seriously, if you make the pills, you do not need to put anything on it, you can include colorized patterns in the pill itself during fabrication. Any mechanical problems are pretty much nonexistant. The pattern would also be volumetric and could be scanned after e.g. breaking a pill apart.
In any case - I feel increasing the availability of common medication is a much more useful goal. So a simple method to verify whether a counterfeit really does what it should do benefits humanity more than trying to beat a working counterfeit (if counterfeit is just code for 'unlicensed').
- eternityforest 4y agoI suspect low cost and publically accessible chemical analysis would be totally doable and a pretty big revolution, since everything from supplements to tapwater to cookware can be contaminated, and people would probably find millions of items that are a long term health risk. Raman spectroscopy seems like it could eventually be miniaturized.
- jjoonathan 4y agoYeah, but availability only helps poor people, while license enforcement primarily helps rich people. No money in A, loads of money in B.
