Blood Donation System using Smart Contracts over a Blockchain Infrastructure

我们提出了一个基于区块链的应用程序来跟踪处理血袋时的信息，例如捐赠，处理，分析，袋分配和输血。我们认为，区块链的使用增加了血袋的可追溯性，在处理不当的情况下提高了问责制，并为献血者和受血者提供了更大的透明度。总之，区块链提高了加拿大公民献血系统的可信度，并通过接收有关其捐赠的准确通知来增加他们对人道主义工作的参与。作为一家采矿农场公司，Bitfarms在部署和维护用于维护比特币等数字货币的专用硬件资源方面拥有深厚的专业知识。Bitfarms对区块链的未来进行了深入投资，因此希望促进区块链技术的创新使用，以实现长期增长。我们的项目旨在进一步验证区块链在电子健康领域的适用性，Bitfarms正在寻求为其客户开发解决方案。此外，我们与Bitfarms目前拥有的采矿资源的集成工作将有助于弥合其当前数字货币使用与未来区块链应用之间的差距。*我们预计项目成果如下：（1）血袋数据收集用例的详细分析和区块链实施的好处，（2）概念验证软件可交付成果，演示实际用例，以及（3）关于电子健康领域当前硬件资源和区块链基础设施的适用性的全面报告，以及我们的原型与Bitfarms资源的整合。

We propose a blockchain-based application to track information when processing blood bags, such as donations, processing, analysis, bag allocation and transfusions. We argue that the use of blockchains increases the traceability of blood bags, improves accountability in case of mishandling, and provides greater transparency to the blood donors and recipients. Altogether, blockchains increase the trustworthiness of blood donation systems for Canadian citizens and increase their involvement in humanitarian efforts by receiving accurate notifications concerning their donations.****As a mining farm company, Bitfarms has a deep expertise in the deployment and maintenance of specialized hardware resources for maintaining digital currencies such as Bitcoin. Bitfarms is deeply invested in the future of blockchains and is therefore looking to promote innovative uses of blockchain technology for long-term growth. Our project seeks to further validate the applicability of blockchains in the eHealth domain, for which Bitfarms is looking to develop solutions for its customers. Furthermore, our integration effort with the mining resources Bitfarms currently own will serve to bridge the gap between their current usage in digital currency to future blockchain applications.****We expect the following project outcomes: (1) a detailed analysis of the blood bag data collection use case and the benefits of a blockchain implementation, (2) a Proof-of-Concept software deliverable demonstrating the use case in action, and (3) a thorough report on the suitability of the current hardware resources and blockchain infrastructures for the eHealth domain, as well as an integration of our prototype with Bitfarms' resources.
