This research paper aims to investigate smart contracts and Blockchain technology to build a privacy-sensitive application focusing on a Digital Medication Plan (DMR) containing prescriptions. The DMR is used just as a use case. However, the proposed model applies to any context where confidential information is shared and authentication or proof of validity is necessary. We start by presenting the problem to understand the necessity of digitalizing the medication plans and how Blockchain technology fits to implement this application. After that, we explain Blockchain technology, a recent and comparatively unknown IT solution. Later we propose a design to solve the problem, and we develop a System of Smart Contracts to demonstrate how to build similar applications and suggest policies for Blockchain system design to satisfy the defined requirements. Eventually, we discuss the pertinence of multiple Blockchain solutions in handling the privacy problem. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
