MUMBAI, India, June 30 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641074232 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology on June 15, 2026, for “a Blockchain-Based Pediatric Vaccination Management System”.
Inventors include Dr. Naga Priyadarsini R; and Dr. Bhawana Tyagi.
The application for the patent was published on June 26, 2026, under issue no. 26/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a blockchain-based pediatric vaccination management system and method that provides a secure, decentralized, and tamper-resistant platform for managing immunization records. The system utilizes a permissioned blockchain network operated by authorized healthcare entities to generate a unique vaccination identity for each child at birth and to record vaccination events as immutable, cryptographically secured transactions. A smart contract framework automates vaccination schedule creation based on jurisdiction-specific guidelines, validates records through multi-party authentication, and generates timely alerts, including adaptive reminders tailored to parental preferences and compliance history. The system ensures data privacy through encryption of personal information and supports interoperability across different vaccination standards. It enables healthcare providers and parents to access and update vaccination data via dedicated interfaces, while allowing third-party verification through cryptographic proof without exposing complete medical records. The invention thereby enhances data integrity, security, transparency, and vaccination compliance.
