Paper Title: Enhanced Healthcare System with NFT-Prescription
Conference Name: 14th International Conference on Information and Communication Technology Convergence (ICTC 2023)
Abstract: In the domain of healthcare management, conventional paper-based prescription systems manifest vulnerabilities. Addressing this, emerging solutions leverage blockchain and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) to augment e-prescription processes. However, existing research needs comprehensive simulation insights into these NFT-based systems. This paper presents a pragmatic NFT-Integrated E-Prescription Management Smart Contract model to bridge this gap. The model capitalizes on blockchain’s security and NFTs’ attributes to enhance prescription traceability, ownership, and security. It streamlines prescription workflows, facilitating seamless interaction between healthcare providers and pharmacies while also introducing precise ownership control through NFTs. Implemented with a Role-Based Access Control system, authorization is exclusively granted to authorized entities, thereby bolstering security. A comparative analysis reveals distinct disparities in ownership management and prescription expiration. Furthermore, an assessment of cost-effectiveness and robust security measures, encompassing NFT integration, is conducted to safeguard sensitive healthcare data. The model’s applicability is demonstrated through public and local test network deployment. This paper addresses the existing research gap by furnishing comprehensive simulation insights, advancing the comprehension of NFT-based prescription systems.
