Healthcare Record Sharing and Management using Blockchain

Abstract

We experience various health problems due to the hectic pace of life, which includes daily hustle and work life,  and the deteriorating ecosystem. There are numerous health records produced and every individual has to maintain these many important pieces of private information. Health records are extremely sensitive information that must typically be shared with peers for numerous examinations in the medical field. Healthcare records are managed manually in the current scenario, which raises efficiency, security, and other concerns. This paper puts forward a web application that uses blockchain technology to offer a simple method for securely sharing private medical records. It offers real-time tracking of medical records, enhancing security, boosting productivity, and lowering total costs. By enabling infrequent knowledge transfer between healthcare professionals, insurance agencies, pharmaceuticals, scientists, and caregivers of the patient, it will streamline data exchange, enhance decision-making for healthcare, and ensure availability and genuineness. Doctors could use the application to review the healthcare data of the patients by whom they have been granted access, while individuals could use it to upload their data, grant access to the doctors, and read their own records.
