Abstract : Organ transplantation is a critical medical procedure used to save patients suffering from organ failure. However, traditional organ transplant management systems face several challenges such as lack of transparency, delays in organ allocation, and risks of data manipulation. These issues often reduce trust and efficiency in the organ donation process. This paper proposes a Blockchain Based Organ Transplant Management and Verification System that provides a secure and transparent platform for managing organ donation across multiple hospitals. The proposed system uses blockchain technology to store organ records in an immutable ledger to ensure data integrity and traceability. Smart contracts automate organ registration, verification, and request processing between hospitals. Decentralized document storage is used to securely store donor related medical records, while QR based verification enables quick validation of organ authenticity. The system also supports real time updates and role based access for hospitals and administrators. The results indicate that the proposed system improves transparency, security, and efficiency in organ transplant management compared to traditional systems. The proposed framework can help healthcare institutions build a reliable and tamper resistant organ donation ecosystem.
