Blockchain in Blood Bank Supply Management

Abstract

Blood Donation is an act of donating healthy blood to needy people. Due to excessive loss of blood, a person may die. Nobody should die from absence of blood. To date there is no pseudo substitution for blood. In this way, blood donation is essential. Blood donation, handling, testing, appropriation and transfusion is a complex, profoundly controlled cycle. Also the supply of blood to the patient isn't secure. The blood doesn't reach to the patient in time. We need to secure amount of blood units, time and supply. To solve these problem, this paper presents a proposed system to secure information visibility and reducing blood supply time by tracking the whole blood donation process using blockchain and improving healthcare transparency and outcomes, driving efficiencies to better match donors with recipients and improve patient outcomes. In this paper, the blockchain technologies offer the possibility to maintain a transparent blood management system, especially since data cannot be counterfeited and tampered with.
