LIFELINE-Emergency Patient Data in a Distributed Manner
Dinu-Ștefan Rusu, Gabriel-Nicolae Pavaloiu · 2022
In the case of medical emergencies where the victim cannot respond to questions, the first responders risk harming the patient if they are not aware of the underlaying conditions and medication. Vulnerable people often carry accessories that contain critical information, either in plain text or in the form of smartphone-scannable codes that redirect to webpages. The problem with relying on internet servers alone is that they can be unresponsive in the time of need. Lifeline aims to solve this problem by using blockchain to store vital backup data.
