EP#9 --- After-Show conversation with with Nicolas Le Rudulier from Myonex
In this special after-show episode, we continue the conversation on transforming clinical trial supply chains with Nicolas Le Rudulier from Myonex. Building on Episode 9, we dive deeper into how GS1 standards were implemented at Creapharm (now Myonex), the hurdles faced during the transition, and how global barcodes are reshaping traceability in clinical research. Nicolas shares insights from the original GS1 case study that inspired this episode—and offers a behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to standardize such a complex supply chain.

EP#9 --- That one barcode that changed clinical trial supply chains: the story of Creapharm (now Myonex)
In this episode of SCAN/STORIES, we learn more on how one barcode is helping fix a critical problem in clinical trials: a lack of consistency in how products are tracked and managed.For years, each company used its own codes and systems, making it hard to collaborate and trace medicines across the supply chain. But that’s changing.We follow the story of Creapharm (now Myonex) and how they adopted GS1 standards, using the GS1 DataMatrix barcode to track investigational drugs from production to the clinical trial site. With global identifiers like the GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) and Protocol ID, they improved safety, reduced delays, and made the supply chain work better for everyone, from pharma companies to clinical research teams.This episode shows how one small barcode can bring clarity, safety, and speed to one of healthcare’s most complex systems.[Disclaimer: this episode was produced using AI].

EP#8 --- From barcode to bedside: How a Chinese hospital tracks high-value medical devices using GS1 standards
In this episode of SCAN/STORIES, discover how a leading hospital in China is transforming patient care with smarter traceability.At The First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, managing high-value medical devices used to be a manual, error-prone process, with delayed deliveries, paperwork overload, and risks to patient safety.Today, it's a different story. By adopting Unique Device Identification (UDI) and GS1 global standards, the hospital has given every critical device a digital identity, enabling real-time tracking from warehouse, to storage, to bedside.Using global identifiers like the GTIN, barcode scanning, and smart storage technology, they’ve built a seamless, data-driven system that reduces errors, accelerates operations, and enhances accountability.This episode shows how trusted data and global standards are redefining healthcare logistics, and why traceability isn’t just a system upgrade, it’s a patient safety imperative.

EP#7 --- How Johnson & Johnson uses GS1 global standards to tackle counterfeit medicines
In this episode, we learn more on a global health risk hiding in plain sight: counterfeit medicines. These fake or stolen drugs endanger millions of lives, especially in regions where traceability isn’t yet legally required.Listen to this episode of SCAN/STORIES to learn how Johnson & Johnson is stepping up with a bold approach using serialisation and GS1 standards to track and verify every product, even beyond regulatory requirements. Discover how global standards like GTINs and GS1 DataMatrix barcodes are helping protect patients and secure the supply chain.From lifesaving verification in underserved regions to scalable innovation that puts patients first, this story shows how trust, technology, and global collaboration can make all the difference. [Disclaimer: this episode was produced using AI].
Discover how GS1 standards and barcodes transform healthcare through stories, expert insights, and conversations that spotlight medical product traceability, supply chain innovation and patient safety. Hosted by Mia, an AI-created voice, each episode delivers practical knowledge and inspiration for a safer and smarter healthcare system.
