Blockchain-Enabled Digital Product Passports for Enhancing Security and Lifecycle Management in Healthcare Devices
No full textModern healthcare relies heavily on the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) and other medical devices that provide real-time monitoring, diagnostics, and treatment support.
However, because these devices constantly gather and transmit sensitive health data, making them robust against cyberattacks, managing their lifecycle and guaranteeing their security are substantial challenges. The vital need for improved healthcare device security, including accountability and lifecycle management, is addressed in this study. Our proposal is a Digital Product Passports (DPP) framework that is enabled by blockchain and aims to improve the security, traceability, and management of medical devices over their entire life cycle. Our method demonstrates how much device security and regulatory compliance can be improved by utilizing blockchain technology to provide immutable, traceable records of device data, including manufacturing information, maintenance records, software updates, and usage history. The useful applications and advantages of the framework are demonstrated by comprehensive use-case, such as surgical instrument traceability and medical device lifecycle management. This approach provides a strong solution for the safe deployment and management of medical devices in medical ecosystems by integrating blockchain-enabled DPPs, ultimately improving patient safety and trust

No full textConcept for a Potential Assessment of Smart Green Service Applications
Get PDFThere is great potential for companies and society to improve the sustainability of services. The objective of the following work is the development of a concept that enables an assessment of the potential for improving the sustainability of existing services.
Assessing the potential for sustainable Smart Services, so-called Smart Green Services, empowers companies to individually improve or increase the sustainability by using digital applications. A literature review on relevant parameters is carried out to identify dimensions or parameters with an impact on increasing sustainability. This will help companies to compare and identify suitable digital applications. Thereby, the influence on the improvement of sustainability in the ecological dimension is investigated while considering economic impacts. Based on the recorded parameters and the systematisation of the results, a concept for a potential assessment can finally be developed. As a result, the concept enables an assessment of the potential of digital technologies for the improvement of the ecoefficiency of existing services. Thus, digital technologies can be identified, and existing services can be improved to Smart Green Services
