Abstract

Nowadays, the need to use blood and its products for the treatment and diagnosis of diseases is increasing. At present, no method can replace blood and its products in the treatment method - the only solution is to utilize the donors. On the one hand, the proposed processes only focus on solving the problem of preservation and transportation between medical facilities based on peer-to-peer and blockchain approaches. On the other hand, proposals to raise people’s awareness of blood donation have not yet been incorporated into current systems. One of those methods is encouraging blood donors to continue participating in the future (i.e., each donor needs some time to recover depending on the blood and blood products they donate). In this paper, we propose a supply chain management model for blood and its products based on Blockchain and smart contracts. In addition, we also review the process of managing electronic certificates after each blood donation to replace the current paper certificates based on NFT technology. Therefore, our work contributes to four aspects: (a) propose a mechanism to manage the supply chain of blood and its products; (b) propose a model to generate electronic blood donation certificates; (c) implement the proposed model; and (d) deploy proof-of-concept on four platforms (i.e., BNB Smart Chain, Fantom, Polygon, and Celo) to choose the most suitable.

  2. 2.

    We do not deploy smart contracts on ETH because the execution fee of smart contracts is too high.
