- Doctors can use their registered wallet to mint a NFT prescription, that gets transfered to the patient's wallet
- Patients can then transfer (approve?) the prescription to a Pharmacist's wallet in exchange for the medication
- Pharmacy can receive compensation directly from patient or its Health Insurance
This way, any of the parties involved can check trustlessly if any given prescription is indeed valid or counterfeited by inspecting any of its signatures and its life cycle in the blockchain.
