Abstract
Healthcare transaction validation systems and methods are presented. Healthcare transactions associated with a stakeholder are compiled into a chain of healthcare transaction blocks. The chain can be considered a chronicle of person's healthcare path through life. When a transaction is conducted, the corresponding healthcare parameters (e.g., inputs, outputs, clinical evidence, outcomes, etc.) are sent to one or more validation devices. The devices establish a validity of the transaction and generate a new block via a proof-of-work principle. Once the new block has been calculated it can be appended to the stakeholder's health care blockchain.
Claims20
A computer-based blockchain transaction validation system comprising:
- at least two validation peer devices, each comprising a computer readable memory and at least one processor, wherein the processor of each validation peer device is configurable to perform the following operations upon execution of software instructions stored in the memory when communicatively coupled with the at least one validation peer device:
- receiving a set of tokens representing at least one action associated with at least one transaction related to at least one blockchain associated with at least one stakeholder;
- receiving at least one validity token indicative of a validity of the at least one action of the at least one stakeholder and based on the set of tokens;
- identifying a validity requirement related to the at least one transaction;
- validating the at least one transaction as a function of the set of tokens and the at least one validity token when accessed by the communicatively coupled at least two validation peer devices;
- generating at least one validity block representing the validity of the at least one transaction based on the validity requirement;
- and
- updating the blockchain with the at least one validity block after a time period has elapsed following a time of occurrence of the at least one transaction.
