 This study aims to establish a theoretical foundation for a complex healthcare system intervention that utilizes a cryptographically secured infrastructure, such as blockchain technology, to enhance trust between caregivers and patients in virtualized care environments. The proposed decentralized system offers an innovative governance structure for a novel trust model and is supported by a concrete implementation of an ethereum-based platform called VerifyMed.
