OrganShare is an innovative end-to-end organ donation and management system designed to address the inefficiencies, lack of transparency, and ethical concerns in current organ donation practices. Traditional organ donation systems often suffer from delays, manipulation, and lack of accountability, sometimes turning life-saving processes into profit-driven businesses. OrganShare leverages blockchain technology to create a transparent, secure, and tamper-proof platform that ensures the fair allocation of organs and accountability among all stakeholders.

The system integrates decentralized blockchain infrastructure to facilitate transparent communication and coordination between Organ Procurement Organizations (OPOs), hospitals, and transplant centers. Key processes such as donor registration, organ matching, and recipient tracking are securely recorded on a blockchain, eliminating the risk of fraud or unauthorized manipulation.

Technical Stack:

OrganShare is built using Python and the Flask framework on the backend, with HTML, CSS, and Bootstrap for the front-end interface. Data is managed using MySQL, while blockchain functionality is implemented using JSON-based private blockchain structures. Key blockchain components include smart contracts for automating transactions, public key cryptography for security, Merkle trees for data verification, and consensus algorithms to maintain a unified ledger state.

Features:

  • Smart Contracts automate donor-recipient matching and organ allocation.
  • Secure Identity Verification using public key cryptography.
  • Transparent Organ Tracking via immutable blockchain records.
  • User-friendly Interface for hospitals, OPOs, and regulatory bodies.

System Testing and Validation:

The platform has undergone rigorous testing through unit, integration, and end-to-end testing. Security and user acceptance tests ensure compliance with ethical and privacy standards while providing a seamless user experience.

Future Enhancements:

To increase the system's intelligence and usability, we plan to integrate machine learning algorithms for predicting donor availability and improving match accuracy. A dedicated mobile application will allow real-time updates and communication for donors, recipients, and medical professionals. Additionally, biometric verification (e.g., facial recognition, fingerprints) will enhance system security and authenticity.

Impact:

OrganShare is a scalable and customizable solution that can revolutionize how organ donation is managed globally. It ensures fairness, saves lives through timely transplants, and builds trust in the donation process by eliminating unethical practices. With its combination of cutting-edge technology and humanitarian purpose, OrganShare represents a meaningful advancement in the field of digital healthcare systems.
