Decentralized prescription management and emergency vital data through distributed ledger technology

Abstract

Ownership of medical data is one of the most important things a person should aim to achieve. An application that allows the patient to be in full control of his data whilst allowing medical personnel to see it such that they can respond accordingly represents a milestone in the development of a smart and integrated emergency system. Such a system should hold the entire patient data, such as prescriptions, vital data and doctor appointments. In this paper we present a system that uses distributed ledger technology to handle medical data such as prescriptions and patient vital data and we showcase how large language models can be used with these technologies to provide a natural interface for the users whilst allowing the user to be in-control of his data. We have also studied how zero knowledge proofs would improve the use case in which a user presents his prescription to a pharmacist.
