Abstract:
Blockchain technology, based on its own characteristics of on-chain information that non-deletable, overlay modification and traceability, plays a unique advantage in the early warning of major infectious diseases. However, in practical applications, the construction of early warning mechanism for major infectious diseases faces ethical problems caused by dilemmas, such as community epidemic prevention, medical data sharing, public opinion supervision, itinerary supervision, and traceability of medical supplies. Therefore, it is significant to give full play to the advantages of blockchain technology, empower the early warning mechanism of major infectious diseases, and improve the quality and effect of early warning of infectious diseases.
