Organ Donation and Transplantation Framework using Blockchain

Abstract

The act of organ transplantation is a crucial and life-saving medical procedure, yet it is often faced with obstacles like a limited supply of organs, ineffective management practices, and a lack of openness in the distribution of organs. To tackle these challenges head-on, we put forth an innovative solution: a blockchain-based system for managing organ donation and transplantation. By harnessing the unique features of blockchain, such as decentralisation, immutability, and transparency, our system offers a secure and transparent environment for all participants in the organ donation and transplantation journey. Our system utilises advanced smart contracts and distributed ledger technology to ensure seamless traceability of organ transactions. This not only streamlines the process of matching donors with recipients but also increases transparency and integrity within the organ allocation process. In this paper, we delve into the intricacies of our proposed system, including its architecture, components, and functionalities. We also explore the potential impact of our system on improving efficiency, fairness, and trust in organ donation and transplantation management. These findings demonstrate the immense potential of blockchain technology in transforming the organ transplantation ecosystem, ultimately paving the way for a more equitable and efficient allocation of life-saving organs.
