Abstract

COVID-19 was first reported in December 2019 and has spread since then. Different vaccines are under development and digital technologies are used for contact tracing, vaccine monitoring, screening of infection, etc. But the healthcare providers are dealing with many challenges, such as cases of fake documents (i.e., test reports and vaccine certificates). Blockchain can help mitigate the challenges with its features, such as data transparency, accuracy, and decentralization. Even in general day purpose, the verification of the documents is required for booking of airline ticket, hotel room, etc. E-commerce deals with online selling and buying of products, which together with blockchain can fulfill the requirement. This chapter proposes a framework for verification of COVID-19 test reports and vaccine certificates with the help of blockchain technology and e-commerce. The aim of the proposed framework is to validate the details online so that the proper treatment and medication can be provided to the patient. IPFS is used to store the data.
