Abstract |
Blood is essential component in human body and fulfills many functions, including transporting oxygen and nutrients to the lungs and tissues. Once extracted from the human body, it becomes a perishable product that can be used in surgeries, organ transplants, and in the treatment of cancer and blood diseases. Management of the blood supply chain is considered essential to minimize shortages and wastage of blood and to manage the flow of blood products from donor to patient. Blockchain technology has the potential to address these challenges by providing a secure, transparent, and tamper-proof way to track and manage the supply chain of blood products. This article aims the usage of blockchain as a platform for a trusted ecosystem for blood supply chain, to enable the tracking & transparency, safety & efficacy, and secure data storage & sharing. |
