Executive Summary
Register (BlockMed) is a comprehensive blockchain-based prescription management solution built on Bitcoin SV. It uses Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) and Verifiable Credentials (VCs) to securely create, share, and verify digital prescriptions and related healthcare authorizations.
Problem Statement
Healthcare providers, patients, pharmacies, and insurers require secure, transparent, and tamper-proof workflows for managing prescriptions and medication history. Traditional paper or centralized digital systems are vulnerable to fraud, data loss, and lack efficient cross-entity coordination.
Register solves these issues by leveraging the Bitcoin SV blockchain and an overlay network to provide immutable tracking, identity validation, and controlled sharing of prescription data.
How It Works
Patients, doctors, pharmacies, and insurers are represented as actors with DIDs on the BSV overlay network.
Doctors create prescriptions as verifiable credentials anchored on the blockchain.
Patients share prescriptions securely with pharmacies which verify and dispense medication.
Insurers confirm coverage by accessing authorized prescription copies.
The system prevents fraud and double-spending through token-based transaction authority.
Key Benefits
End-to-End Prescription Transparency: Secure lifecycle from creation to dispensation.
Data Integrity & Authentication: Immutable tracking anchored on BSV with strong cryptographic identity.
Fraud Prevention: Prevents prescription duplication and unauthorized alterations.
Cross-Entity Workflow: Facilitates seamless interaction between patients, doctors, pharmacies, and insurers.
Primary Users
Healthcare Providers (Doctors, Clinics)
Patients
Pharmacies
Insurance Companies
Use Cases
Prescription Creation & Sharing: Issue and share verifiable medical prescriptions.
Dispension Tracking: Record medication dispensing events on-chain for auditability.
Insurance Verification: Allow payers to confirm prescription validity and coverage.
Patient Medication History: Patient-controlled, secure record of medications taken.
Current Impact
Deployed as a live demo within BSV ecosystem, Register showcases real-world secure prescription workflows with enhanced privacy, tracing, and fraud mitigation. It underpins the future of healthcare management leveraging blockchain.
