| Abstract | The increasing prevalence of counterfeit drugs and medical supplies poses significant threats to public health, particularly during last-mile delivery. Therefore, to optimize the delivery of critical medical supplies and enhance the authenticity and security of medical supply chains, a novel solution is proposed to integrate Blockchain technology, the Internet of Things (IoT), and ride-sharing applications. Utilizing a Blockchain-based framework with smart contracts facilitates real-time validation of product authenticity. IoT sensors monitor environmental conditions, such as temperature and humidity, ensuring that medical products comply with regulatory requirements. Ride-sharing services facilitate decentralized, efficient delivery of medical products. Additionally, the Proof of Elapsed Time (PoET) consensus mechanism helps reduce energy consumption and ensures fast, secure transactions. The proposed system is prototyped using the Hyperledger Sawtooth platform, and the Hyperledger Caliper benchmarking tool is used to assess performance. The results demonstrate that Blockchain integration with ride-sharing applications significantly reduces the likelihood of counterfeit products entering the supply chain, ensuring safer delivery of medical supplies. Metrics like delivery efficiency, transaction speed, and counterfeit detection rates are validated. © 2025 The authors. |
