Misidentification, mistransfusion, and pre-analytical errors are all regarded as major challenges and risks in safe blood transfusion procedures. To provide a high level of accuracy, traceability, automation, and reliability in blood transfusion services, traditional methods should be upgraded with modern technologies such as block chain technology, machine learning, artificial intelligence (AI), artificial neural networks, algorithm-based learning, and the implementation of radio frequency identification (RFID) and the internet of things (IoT). This technology helps reduce errors, retrieve data, forecast blood demand, reduce blood waste, manage blood storage, and manage workload, ensuring transfusion safety. The technology is still in the initial stages of development and by addressing issues such as data loss, patient data privacy, and cost-effectiveness, the technology will become a revolution in transfusion services.

“…Lack of communication between areas with an oversupply of blood stock and others with a complete shortage is the primary cause of this imbalance [9]. Furthermore, in the United States, blood components waste rates typically fall within the range of 1% to 5% [10]. This poses a severe threat to the patient's life, as immediate transfusions are often crucial in emergency cases.…”

Establishing a well-functioning Supply Chain Management (SCM) system is paramount during challenging times such as pandemics, natural disasters, and international conflicts. The complexity of global supply chains necessitates efficient systems, procedures, and personnel to ensure optimal results. Poor coordination among entities can lead to increased counterfeit products, increased ocean transportation costs, more expensive freight brokerage, bottlenecks in cargo flow, congestion, and complications in product accountability. To ensure a smooth and hassle-free operation, it's essential to maintain unambiguity and accuracy throughout every process. Therefore, it is vital to have effective systems, procedures, and personnel in place for SCM. The challenges encountered in SCM can be effectively tackled by utilizing blockchain technology. The architecture of blockchain technology is characterized by its distributed, decentralized and robust safety measures, which guarantee the integrity of data storage and its distribution across a meticulously organized ledger. Users can confidently rely on this innovative design's transparency, reliability, and safety. Implementing blockchain technology carries immense potential in bolstering safety and privacy measures in diverse sectors, including agriculture, healthcare, Goods and Services Tax (GST), academics, e-voting and automobile. This investigation delves into the practical applications of blockchain technology for SCM. It thoroughly analyses existing research and literature to uncover the latest advancements and potential future breakthroughs in this area.
