| TITLE | Secure Organ Donation and Healthcare Data Sharing Through Blockchain Interoperability |
|---|---|
| ABSTRACT | Organ donation systems require secure, transparent, and efficient coordination among healthcare institutions. However, traditional healthcare infrastructures rely on centralized databases that suffer from limited interoperability, lack of transparency, and vulnerability to unauthorized data manipulation. This paper proposes a blockchain-based system for secure organ donation management and healthcare data sharing. The proposed framework utilizes Ethereum smart contracts to automate processes such as donor registration, patient organ requests, and organ allocation while maintaining a transparent and immutable transaction record. Sensitive electronic health records (EHR) are encrypted using AES-256 encryption and stored in off-chain storage, while cryptographic hashes generated using SHA-256 are anchored on the blockchain to ensure data integrity. A compatibility-based donor-patient matching mechanism is implemented to identify suitable donors based on medical parameters such as blood type compatibility, donor age, and urgency level. Furthermore, Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) techniques enable privacy-preserving verification of patient eligibility without revealing sensitive medical information. The proposed architecture improves transparency, security, and interoperability in healthcare systems while supporting trustworthy organ donation and transplantation workflows across multiple hospitals. |
