Harnessing Blockchain to Address Plasma Donation Network Challenges
Source abstract
Abstract
Plasma therapy is an extensively used treatment for critically unwell patients. For this procedure, a legitimate plasma donor who can continue to supply plasma after healing is needed. However, significant dangers are associated with supply management, such as the ambiguous provenance of plasma and the spread of infected or subpar blood into medicinal fabrication. Also, from an ideological standpoint, less powerful people may be exploited throughout the contribution process. Moreover, there is a danger to the logistics system because there are now just some plasma shippers. This research intends to investigate the blockchain-based solution for blood plasma to facilitate authentic plasma transfer. Blockchain parameters, including electronic identification, chain code, and certified ledgers, have the potential to exert a substantial, profound influence on the distribution and implementation process of blood banks. To understand the practical ramifications of blockchain, the current study provides a proof of concept approach that aims to simulate the procedural code of modern plasma distribution ecosystems using a blockchain-based architecture. The agent-based modeling used in the testing and evaluation mimics the supply chain to assess the blockchain’s feasibility, advantages, and constraints for the plasma.
