HYDERABAD: and Hyderabad-based startup, StaTwig, that has been leveraging technology to ensure safe delivery of Covid-19 vaccines in India, will now be using its tech solutions to trace and track vaccines in the Latin American region as well

The startup on Wednesday said it has partnered with LACChain alliance to deploy this solution in the region. LACChain is a global alliance that works towards development of the Blockchain ecosystem in and the Caribbean.

Once StaTwig completes integration and testing of its Blockchain solution, Vaccine Ledger, on LACChain’s platform, both the entities would jointly approach authorities across 26 countries in Latin America to roll out this solution. The integration and testing is expected to be completed in one month’s time, it said. StaTwig’s Vaccine Ledger captures serial numbers, expiry dates, other manufacturing data using 2D Bar codes and uses them to scan the vaccines at various touch points along the journey of the vaccine.

As part of this agreement, StaTwig and LACChain will exchange information on their Blockchain-based services, promote the use of the LACChain network and the StaTwig solution for vaccine traceability and develop of new materials, tools and concepts such as Blockchain infrastructure and digital identity of every vaccine vial. Commenting on the development, Sid Chakravarthy, founder and CEO, StaTwig said, “Our solution, Vaccine Ledger deployed over the LACChain network will make it easy for different stakeholders such as manufacturers, health departments and other key organisations to participate and collaborate over one single decentralised network. As these organisations can join the network at any time this makes the solution very easy to adopt and scale.” Alejandro Pardo Vegezzi, leader of LACChain said, “Never before has it been more important to maintain and ensure trust in the distribution chain to combat a global problem, we are pleased to welcome StaTwig as a partner, its implementation in the LACChain network reflects confidence in our infrastructure, which is expected to have an impact on millions of people and improve process efficiency.”
