Claim 9:
10. A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores computer executable instructions for causing one or more processors of a server to facilitate integration and tracking of a medical device lifecycle comprising:
receive event data from a plurality of disparate computing devices associated with the plurality of medical devices along a medical device lifecycle regarding a plurality of medical devices, wherein the event data is received via an API framework for tracking a medical device lifecycle for a plurality of medical devices, wherein the API framework is configured to receive calls from the plurality of disparate computing devices along the device lifecycle, wherein the plurality of disparate computing devices make calls to the API framework in response to events occurring during the medical device lifecycle to provide event data comprising design data, manufacturing data, supply chain data, usage data, sales data, and post-market data regarding the plurality of medical devices based on a unique identifier for each of the plurality of medical devices, wherein event data received via the API framework comprises manufacturing data, supply chain data sales data, post-market data, and usage data regarding the plurality of medical devices based on the unique identifier for each of the plurality of medical devices; and
generate one or more blocks in a blockchain to capture the event data from the plurality of disparate computing devices along the medical device lifecycle in one or more distributed ledgers in response to receiving event data via the API framework, wherein each block in the blockchain includes the unique identifier for the medical device to which the event data relates;
wherein one or more blocks in the blockchain link the unique identifier for the medical device with event data to which the medical device relates representing: (i) design, manufacturing, or supply chain events regarding the medical device, (ii) healthcare usage events regarding the medical device, and (iii) reprocessing or sterility cycle information regarding the medical device.
