Electronic Healthcare Record Using Blockchain

The healthcare industry faces numerous challenges related to data security, interoperability, and efficiency in managing patient information. Blockchain technology offers a promising solution a decentralized, transparent, and secure framework for managing healthcare data. This paper proposes a healthcare management system using blockchain abstraction, which leverages the key features of blockchain technology to address these challenges. The proposed system utilizes a blockchain infrastructure to store and manage patient medical records securely. Each patient’s data is stored as individual blocks on the blockchain, ensuring immutability and transparency. Smart contracts are employed to manage access control and permissions, enabling authorized parties such as patients, healthcare providers, and insurers to access and update relevant medical information Consensus mechanisms such as Proof of Work (PoW) or Proof of Stake (PoS) are implemented to validate and add new blocks of data to the blockchain, ensuring the integrity of the system. Additionally, cryptographic techniques are utilized to secure data transmission and storage, protecting patient privacy and confidentiality. The proposed system aims to streamline healthcare processes, reduce administrative overhead, and improve data interoperability by providing a unified platform for managing healthcare information. healthcare data management. By employing blockchain infrastructure, smart contracts, and cryptographic techniques, the proposed system aims to address critical issues such as data security, interoperability, and regulatory compliance while empowering patients and healthcare providers with greater control over their healthcare information.Overall, the proposed healthcare management system using blockchain abstraction offers a secure, transparent, and efficient solution for managing patient data in the healthcare industry, addressing critical challenges and paving the way for improved healthcare delivery and outcomes.
