Executive Summary
Prescription Tokens demonstrates a secure and auditable way to handle medical prescriptions by tokenizing prescription data on the Bitcoin SV blockchain. This ensures that prescriptions issued by doctors, held by patients, and redeemed by pharmacies are securely tracked and protected against fraud and misuse.
Problem Statement
The healthcare industry faces challenges in securely managing prescriptions, with risks of forgery, misuse, and fragmented communication among patients, doctors, and pharmacies. Traditional methods lack transparency and traceability, leading to administrative inefficiencies and potential patient safety issues.
How It Works
Doctors create prescription tokens anchored immutably on the Bitcoin SV blockchain.
Patients securely receive and hold these tokens as proof of prescriptions.
Pharmacies redeem tokens to verify prescription authenticity and dispense medications.
The token-based system supports one-time use and auditability, minimizing fraud and errors.
