Creating an Inter-hospital Resilient Network for Pandemic Response Based on Blockchain and Dynamic Digital Twins
2021
This study proposes to develop new knowledge about how to configure digital information for pandemic
rapid response, which can use blockchain and digital-driven approaches to facilitate analyses and develop
a total solution. Developing and using the rich data implied by dynamic digital twins and blockchain is
relevant to manage both patients and medical resources (e.g., doctors/nurses, PPE, beds and ventilators etc.)
at the COVID-19 and post COVID period. This paper learns from the experiences of resources
deployment/redeployment and pandemic response from UK Hospitals to explore the blockchain solutions
for preparing healthcare systems ready for both efficient operation daily and in pandemic thorough (1) information integration of patient (privacy protected) flow and medical resource flow from healthcare and
medical records; (2) optimizing the deployment of such resources based on hospitals, regions and local
pandemic levels switching from normal to the outbreak. The main idea is to develop the novel framework
for creating an inter-hospital resilient network for pandemic response based on blockchain and dynamic
digital twin, which will set up innovative ways to best care for patients, protect NHS staff, and support
government scientific decisions to beat COVID-19 now and manage the crisis in the future.
