Blockchain Based Supply Chain and User-Centric Service Oriented Framework for Healthcare 5.0

Abstract

The medicine Supply Chain System (SCS) is an efficient functional network around the essential enterprise. A robust medicine SCS has become essential in the post-COVID era to ensure timely access to life-saving medications, facilitate efficient distribution of vaccines, prevent shortages, and ensure resilience during health crises. Corruption, fraud, and manipulation are all potential threats to a supply chain that is managed centrally. The pharmaceutical supply chain can be more secure and transparent by utilizing the different inbuilt cryptographic algorithms, smart contracts, and consensus mechanisms. This technology also provides a secure way of data sharing, and autonomous management as a distributed ledger. The integration of blockchain technology into supply chain management, or SCM, is examined in this study in order to develop a system architecture that is trustworthy, transparent, authentic, and safe. In addition to specific algorithms outlining the operation of our proposed solution, we also provide system architecture. We also concentrate on applying blockchain technology to solve the problem of hierarchical transactions.
