xHealth is a healthcare platform. One of the business processes implemented on the platform is Counterfeit Drugs Checker. Counterfeit Drugs Checker aims at countering proliferation of counterfeit drugs by putting the power to report potential counterfeit drugs in the user's hands.
A general public user or a healthcare personnel can use the application to check the legitimacy of a drug. Additionally, a general public user can report any side effects suffered as a result of using the drug. The data collected from such reports would be shared with the drug manufacturers and other stakeholders to improve drug safety and to rid the general public of ineffective drugs.
Interaction with the platform is via SMS, IVR, Voice and mobile app.
This work is a combined effort of Okello Nelson, Chen Chengkuan, Siu Len, Hai Liang Gao and Nicole Yap.

Editor's Notes
Effectiveness is rather subjective here, (what is effective? what isnt?) in curing a disease is effective then HIV medications are not because they do not cure.
Therefore I am unsure if we should use effectiveness as we would need solid clinical end points. on the contrary we could collect adverse reaction data as a pharmacovigilance system.
I don’t think we should do effectiveness at all because to one illness there will be lots of factors why the drug was not effective, counterfeit is not the only reason. there are many clinical reasons too.
