Blockchain-Based Trace the Source System for Chinese Medicinal Materials

Abstract

The quality and safety of Chinese medicinal materials has always been a key issue of great concern to the country and society. In recent years, various policies and recommendations have been issued to support the construction of a quality trace the source system for Chinese medicinal materials. This article uses blockchain technology to construct a quality trace the source system for Chinese medicinal materials, combining the needs of Chinese medicinal materials among different entities, and registering on the chain from seedling, planting, processing, circulation and other links to establish a safe and reliable trace the source model. The source of medicinal materials can be checked and whereabouts can be known, ensuring the quality and safety of medicinal materials and ensuring the integrity of trace the source information. The application of blockchain technology to the trace the source system solves the shortcomings of the traditional centralized trace the source model, and also solves the trust problem of the quality of Chinese medicine, guarantees the safety of the quality of medicinal materials, and promotes the sustainable and healthy development of the Chinese medicine industry.
