Article: Organ transplantation using federated blockchain-based healthcare system Journal: International Journal of Ad Hoc and Ubiquitous Computing (IJAHUC) 2025 Vol.50 No.3 pp.154 - 169 Abstract: Organ transplantation is a critical aspect of modern healthcare, offering life-saving treatments to patients suffering from organ failure. However, the process of organ donation, allocation, and transplantation is complex, often fraught with challenges such as organ shortage, inefficient allocation mechanisms, and lack of transparency. Blockchain technology has emerged as a promising solution to address these challenges. By providing a decentralised and immutable ledger, blockchain can improve the efficiency, transparency, and security of organ transplantation processes. It can enable better tracking of organ donations, facilitate fair and transparent allocation of organs, and enhance trust among stakeholders in the healthcare ecosystem. In this paper, the aim is to develop a blockchain-based healthcare system for organ transplantation which leads to ultimately improving patient outcomes and saving more lives. Further, the proposed methods based on the blockchain has been implemented and validated with various parameters using Hyperledger Fabric network.
