ISPADIF: A European Game-Changer in Fighting Against Medicine Shortages

ISPADIF is a digital system that uses AI to monitor and predict medicine shortages, ensuring reliable drug supply in Greece.

ADDRESSING MEDICINE SHORTAGES WITH TECHNOLOGY

In a time of growing medicine shortages across Greece, Europe, and beyond, the Electronic System for Monitoring Drug Distribution (ISPADIF) stands out as a pioneering digital solution. Launched by the Hellenic Ministry of Health in January 2024, ISPADIF is more than a platform—it’s a bold step toward building a resilient, transparent, and proactive pharmaceutical supply chain.

REAL-TIME MONITORING AND AI FORECASTING

The system enables real-time monitoring of drug distribution and leverages AI-powered forecasting to predict shortages before they happen. This allows governments, healthcare providers, and pharmacies to take preventive action, avoiding crisis-mode responses and ensuring that critical medicines remain available and accessible.

EMPOWERING HEALTHCARE AND SETTING A EUROPEAN BENCHMARK

ISPADIF empowers both public authorities and citizens, reducing uncertainty and increasing confidence in the healthcare system. As the first system of its kind in Europe, it sets a new benchmark for pharmaceutical supply chain efficiency, AI-driven governance, and patient-centred innovation.
