Designing a Blockchain-Enabled Organ Donation Model for Enhanced Transparency and Trust

Organ donation and transplant is paramount important in healthcare services organizations. The donor and receiver details must be secured and their privacy has to be preserved. Current systems are centralized and lack of trust and managing such information. Therefore, the need of the hour is to evolve an innovative solution to enhance the transparency and trust in the organ donation process. With the support of blockchain technology, the details of donor and recipient details can be stored in a distributed ledger so that the privacy and trustworthiness of the users is maintained. This paper presents a novel approach utilizing blockchain technology to address the challenges in organ donation and distribution. This work leverages the immutability and decentralization features of blockchain, this solution aims to improve the reliability of organ allocation, by ensuring transparency and maintaining trust among stakeholders. The proposed system utilizes a blockchain network to securely store and manage organ-related data, including donor information, recipient profiles, and medical records are updated in the ledger and is validated by all the stakeholders includes hospitals, organ procurement organizations, and patients. This transparency eliminates the possibilities of fraud or manipulation, ultimately fostering trust within the system. Furthermore, the blockchain-based platform incorporates smart contracts to automate and streamline various aspects of the organ donation process. The system is implemented and tested with the simulation environment and the test results are very promising. The system provides a reliable, efficient, and accountable platform for organ allocation, ultimately saving more lives.
