Abstract

A digital emergency rescue system is an effective means to achieve accurate rescue, minimize casualties and property losses. When large emergencies occur, medical institutions need to jointly participate in the emergency rescue coordination. But it is hard to share medical resource and injured information, which reduces the efficiency of recue and affects the treatment of injured person.

Therefore, this paper proposes a rescue information sharing architecture based on blockchain and distributed storage, which shares data for many medical institutions. Moreover, we propose a new consensus algorithm ERBFT based on reputation models and Verifiable Random Function (VRF) to reduce communication complexity, and maintain the security of blockchain information sharing system.
