Validation of MUISCA: A MDE-Based Tool for Interoperability of Healthcare Environments Using Smart Contracts in...

The exchange of medical information significantly benefits people's quality of life, improving their care and treatment. The interoperability of the entire healthcare ecosystem is a constant challenge. Blockchain technology is an alternative to find a balance in the healthcare ecosystem. Smart contracts (SC) are decentralized and self-executing programs that allow the automation of agreements without intermediaries to improve operational efficiency. However, the constant development of new Blockchain technologies and programming languages for smart contracts is a growing problem. This work presents the validation by expert judgment of the MUISCA (Mechanism for UnIversal SmartContrAct) tool, which uses Model Driven Engineering (MDE). MUISCA uses transformations of models and models to text to generate smart contracts in healthcare environments and specific to Blockchain platforms. The validation is conducted by smart contracts development experts, who show positivity in the perceived usefulness.
