The purpose of the project was to prepare a weather-based demand forecast research methodology in the form of an IT platform, which is based on the input of current weather data and is able to forecast demand for medicines and health-improving products. With the special expert system, the manufacture, sourcing, distribution and consumer demand of pharmaceutical products can be forecast.

Apart from the forecast methodology, the examination of special trends was also part of the project, since they show how climate change can effect the activities of the pharmaceutical industry.
Analyses of climate change, aiming to forecast consumer demand, may help with the long-term, decade-long planning in the individual sectors.

The special analyses of the decision-support system, forecasts, primarily help actors in the pharmaceutical and health industries, but also provide useful information to other sectors as well. Information from the intelligent advisory system can be incorporated effectively into the business decision process.
By implementing this solution, there are now more industries that are able to take advantage of information from weather research and climate trends.

The project was completed with the help of the Government of Hungary, and with financing by the National Research, Development and Innovation Fund.
