📊Executive Summary

The article discusses a new low-power smart packaging system called SPaRAS, designed to monitor environmental conditions of dispensed medicines to reduce pharmaceutical waste. By using customizable sensors and NFC technology, pharmacists can verify the storage conditions of returned medicines, which is crucial for temperature-sensitive products like vaccines. This innovation could enhance the circular pharmaceutical supply chain and improve environmental traceability. Future developments will focus on miniaturizing the hardware and conducting larger-scale clinical trials to assess long-term performance....
