| Summary: | Health records nowadays considered as an important legal document that hold a
lot of patients' sensitive information like diseases, medications, personal details and
more. The patient's sensitive information is subject to data breaches by hackers on
regular basis, also, these patient's records need to be exchanged between different
medical institutions that patients visit each time. As a result, the protection of
this records in rest and in motion is a must; to preserve patient's privacy and to
achieve health record security goals of confidentiality, integrity and availability. The
existing health record systems does not have the balance between data privacy, ease
of use and secure way to access data, so con
icts between data privacy and data
accessibility are common to occur. Blockchain works as shared ledger that store
each transaction happened in the network, this ledger is immutable, shared and
transparent. The blockchain technology provide suitable solution by enables data
storage on decentralized platform. This technology can be used in the healthcare
domain to provide appropriate access control mechanism and maintain the privacy
of health records. In this project, we are proposing a decentralized blockchain-based electronic health record system which also called Decentralized application or DApp
in short, that provide an efficient way to access records by health practitioners and
maintain confidentiality of patient sensitive information. The system uses Ethereum
blockchain and its smart contracts to achieve most secure access control for data
security. |
