METHOD, APPARATUS AND SYSTEM FOR STORING USAGE DATA AND TRACKING A MEDICAL PRODUCT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240021278 titled 'METHOD, APPARATUS AND SYSTEM FOR STORING USAGE DATA AND TRACKING A MEDICAL PRODUCT

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a computer-implemented tracking method and system for storing usage data of a medical product in a blockchain. The method involves detecting the usage of the medical product, creating usage data related to the detected usage, and storing the usage data in a data record in a blockchain in a way that cannot be modified retrospectively.

  • The method involves detecting and tracking the usage of a medical product.
  • Usage data is created based on the detected usage of the medical product.
  • The usage data is stored in a data record in a blockchain.
  • The data record in the blockchain is designed to prevent retrospective modification.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Tracking the usage of medical products to ensure compliance with regulations and guidelines.
  • Monitoring the effectiveness and safety of medical products in real-time.
  • Facilitating the recall process of medical products by quickly identifying affected batches.
  • Providing transparency and accountability in the supply chain of medical products.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Ensures accurate and tamper-proof recording of usage data for medical products.
  • Reduces the risk of fraud or manipulation of usage data.
  • Improves traceability and accountability in the healthcare industry.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced patient safety by ensuring the proper usage of medical products.
  • Improved regulatory compliance and reporting.
  • Streamlined recall processes for medical products.
  • Increased transparency and trust in the healthcare industry.


Original Abstract Submitted

a computer-implemented tracking method, an apparatus, a tracking system for storing usage data of a medical product, and a computer-readable storage medium. the method includes the steps of detecting usage of the medical product, creating the usage data which relate to the detected usage of the medical product, and storing the usage data in a data record in a form which cannot be modified retrospectively, specifically in a blockchain.
