Abstract

The domain of animal healthcare mandates robust mechanisms for maintaining the sanctity, reachability, and security of medical record. This paper delineates a cutting-edge methodology to overhaul traditional animal medical record handling by utilizing blockchain techniques. Through the strategic incorporation of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS), and Smart Contracts, we propose a versatile system that refines data retrieval and modification processes, bolstering both accountability and dependability. At the heart of our strategy lies a pioneering decentralized framework, empowering veterinary professionals with the tools to input, retrieve, and edit medical records, all the while being enveloped by rigorous access and identity validation measures. The inherent decentralized properties of IPFS furnish steadfast and immutable data retention capabilities, whilst the NFTs encapsulate the distinct medical trajectories of each animal. Through the symbiotic relationship of Smart Contracts, a fluid and unalterable lineage of medical logs is preserved. As a marked departure from traditional paradigms, our blueprint promises augmented safety, streamlined data operations, and unparalleled lucidity, marking the dawn of a transformative phase in animal healthcare.
