Abstract

Childhood vaccination is an important pillar for a country’s public health system. However, in Peru there was no adequate tool or technology that could be used by parents or guardians of children to monitor or control the process. In this work, a technological solution based on Cloud Computing and Blockchain that is implemented in the childhood vaccination system of Peru will be presented based on a diversity of previous studies. Which focused on the analysis of the processes involved in vaccination, the system used, and the main actors to provide the best possible solution. The presented solution seeks to support the increase in the rate of childhood vaccination in the national healthcare system. We developed a system with functionalities that enhance the weak points in the current process, it is deployed in the cloud for the operation and connection with various services, and which takes advantage of Blockchain technology to ensure the protection of information that is managed in the process. The results obtained in the validation tests were satisfactory, obtaining a minimum compliance percentage of 99%. In this way, the system with the Blockchain network complies with the pillars of security such as confidentiality, integrity, and availability. On the other hand, the non-technical aspects to safeguard the security of the system that have to do with the processes and actors involved in vaccination were also considered. With this, the fundamental pillars of security (“CIA”) can be ensured to provide a solution according to the context of the protection of transactional and medical data in Peru.
