Precise Software Solutions, Inc. receives US patent for Drug Anomaly Detection device
Counterfeit drug detection device one of many innovative solutions produced by Precise’s Innovation team
Rockville, Maryland Sep 20, 2022 (Issuewire.com) - Precise Software Solutions, Inc. (Precise), a small 8(a) company providing strategic and innovative information technology services to federal, state, and local government customers, received its first official patent US Patent no. 11,416,989 from the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The patent, titled “Drug Anomaly Detection,” advances quick and reliable methods to detect anomalies in drug composition, and ultimately, to detect counterfeit drug products. Precise's patent deploys multiple wavelength lights and an all-spectrum high-definition camera in a portable device. The Precise team of data scientists and engineers developed machine learning algorithms for multi-spectrum image recognition and counterfeit drug identification. The algorithms are deployed in a minicomputer and use novel edge computing technologies to achieve near real-time results.
Experts estimate that 10% of the worldwide drug supply fails to meet regulatory standards. These counterfeit and substandard drugs have an estimated $200 billion annual economic impact, adversely impact consumers and disease treatment, and at times can result in patient death. Precise’s Drug Anomaly Detection device offers the promise of a tool to fight a growing influx of counterfeit drugs.
Precise CEO Zhensen Huang expressed excitement about receiving the official patent for the Drug Anomaly Detection device, as well as high praise for the Precise Innovation team, led by Precise’s Chief Technology Officer, Ben Duan, and Vice President of Engineering Xu Yang, and their work.
