The application, deployed on the Ethereum blockchain, enables secure management of vaccination records, appointment requests, and vaccine inventory. By ensuring data integrity and privacy, VAXBLOCK aims to enhance healthcare delivery and vaccination coverage. It has potential to integrate immunization records with Electronic Health Records (EHR\u2019s) using blockchain technology and smart contracts for low-resource countries (LRCs). Future plans include usability testing and integration with existing healthcare systems.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/shti251364","type":"book-chapter","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,7]],"date-time":"2025-08-07T11:49:57Z","timestamp":1754567397000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Exploring Blockchain Technology to Improve Vaccine Access in Low-Resource Countries"],"prefix":"10.3233","author":[{"given":"Anirudh","family":"Babu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, Texas"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Matthew","family":"Dacso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Texas Health Science Center, San Antonio, Texas"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yongqun","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Michigan Medical School, Ann Arbor, Michigan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Muhammad","family":"Amith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, Texas"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"7437","container-title":["Studies in Health Technology and Informatics","MEDINFO 2025 \u2014 Healthcare Smart \u00d7 Medicine Deep"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/ebooks.iospress.nl\/pdf\/doi\/10.3233\/SHTI251364","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,7]],"date-time":"2025-08-07T11:49:58Z","timestamp":1754567398000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/ebooks.iospress.nl\/doi\/10.3233\/SHTI251364"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,7]]},"ISBN":["9781643686080"],"references-count":0,"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3233\/shti251364","relation":{},"ISSN":["0926-9630","1879-8365"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0926-9630","type":"print"},{"value":"1879-8365","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,7]]}}}
