Our
Work
Using NFTs for healthcare
applications
1. Analyze the technical
components of NFTs
2. Review potential
opportunities of using NFTs in
healthcare
3. Design a framework for the
implementation of NFT-based
solutions
4. Identify the main challenges
for adopting NFTs in healthcare
along with their key features. Also, we discuss
how they are associated with each other.
NFTs are digital assets that reside on the
blockchain with unique identification addresses
and metadata, which makes them distinguishable
from each other.8 NFTs can represent physical
items from the real world in a process called
Tokenization. The tokenized assets can be
divided into two main categories: 1) fungible
assets and 2) nonfungible assets. The former
refers to assets that are divisible and identical,
whereas the latter refers to assets that are not
fungible and cannot be replicated due to the special
features they contain.9
Figure 2 illustrates the main components of an
NFT. First, each NFT has a token symbol, a unique
token ID, a unique token contract address, a
unique creator address, and transaction history
that are permanently stored on the blockchain.
Second, metadata, which is the actual content
along with its description, is usually stored offJuly/August

chain on a decentralized storage to reduce costs,
and only a hash of that content is stored on-chain
pointing to the original content. However, if the
metadata does not contain large-sized content, it
can be directly stored on the blockchain.10
