The healthcare transport sector has progressed considerably in recent years, yet it continues to face persistent challenges such as payment, staffing, record redundancy, and resource waste. This paper proposes a blockchain-based auction system called Smart Contract enabled Fair, Secure, and Transparent Auction (SCeFSTA) that aims to address these problems and provide fair competition for healthcare transportation. SCeFSTA employs blockchain technology to create a transparent and secure auction-based platform that provides secure, immediate payment for services and promotes competition. It allows healthcare transportation providers to bid for services, ensuring that only cost-effective providers are selected. The smart contract ensures payments are made upon service completion, enhancing security for patients and providers. We follow a design science research approach to design the system after interviewing several key stakeholders in the healthcare transportation community. The blockchain-based data ledger reduces redundancy and waste while providing enhanced privacy and security. SCeFSTA has the potential to benefit the healthcare transportation field by creating a fair and efficient system that improves performance. We demonstrated the prototype to the first responder community, who understood the effectiveness. Through a series of rigorous system evaluations, we demonstrate that the proposed system could be deployed to healthcare transportation such as ambulance hire, and inter-facility patient transfer.

Images from multiple medical sites usually contain varying noise levels that can affect the generalization performance of the denoising models. Domain generalization (DG), which seeks to learn a model that can generalize to an unseen test domain, has not been extensively explored in medical image denoising for multi-site images. We present an approach for multi-site medical image denoising, which addresses the issue of varying noise levels across different imaging sites. Our proposed method, called SCAF-DG (Spatial-Channel Attention Fusion for Domain Generalization), employs two attention units to extract both domain-specific channel features and mutually-invariant spatial features from the noisy images. These features are then combined to form a rich feature space. Additionally, we utilized skip connections to preserve structural information during the denoising process. We evaluate SCAF-DG on publicly available brain magnetic resonance image (MRI) datasets from three different imaging sites, and demonstrate an average increase of 1.01 in peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and 0.016 in structural similarity index measure (SSIM) for denoising images. Our results demonstrate that SCAF-DG has the potential to generalize well to new, unseen test domains, and outperforms existing state-of-the-art denoising models on multi-site medical images.
