Digital Drug Allergy Card enabled by a Permissioned Blockchain Technology. Our project focuses on the design and development of a decentralized, user-centered and scalable ledger as a mobile and a web application for the registration, validation and traceability of drug allergies. The main objectives are to record drug allergies and to distinguish between self-reported drug allergies (approximately 10% of the European population) and re-evaluated information by physicians through allergy testing. Indeed, the most self-reported allergies are not confirmed by tests and consequently lead to less efficient treatments.
