Smart Storage Solutions for Cold Chain: Integrating Technology for Vaccine Preservation

In healthcare, effective vaccine storage and inventory management are vital, particularly for temperature-sensitive vaccines. Traditional tracking methods can be time-consuming, risking inefficiencies and spoilage. This paper proposes a smart storage solution using IoT for cold chain vaccine preservation. It emphasizes efficient inventory management for patient safety and operational success. A review of related works discusses innovations like IoT, blockchain, and AI for maintaining vaccine efficacy. The methodology details a practical system with local data storage, order tracking, and a user-friendly dashboard. Results show improved operational efficiency with real-time alerts for low stock and expiring vaccines. The conclusion reflects on the solution's success in overcoming key challenges and suggests future improvements, including cloud integration and AI-based predictive analytics for further optimization.
