PharmaSecure is a U.S.-based software and technology company that works to improve global public health using mobile phone technology.

History

PharmaSecure was founded by Nathan Sigworth and N. Taylor Thompson in 2007. The company was started to address the problem of counterfeit pharmaceuticals. The original technology provided consumers with the opportunity to verify that their medicines are authentic by using a unique identifier on the package and a cell phone.[1]

PharmaSecure now provides security for over 1.2 billion packages around the world[2] and connects patients to healthcare services based on the medicines they are taking.

In July 2012, PharmaSecure became the first company to partner with the INTERPOL Global Register.[3]

Company Profile

The company is currently headquartered in Lebanon, New Hampshire, with a subsidiary operation in India,[4] and is funded through private investment.[5][6]
