Abstract
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, ventilators etc.) at the COVID-19 and post COVID period. This paper aims at exploring the blockchain solutions for preparing healthcare systems ready for both efficient operation daily and in pandemic through (1) information integration of patient 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 concepts of 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. © 2021 IEEE.
