Unlocking the Potential of Non-Fungible Tokens: A Novel Approach for Privacy-Preserving in EHR

Abstract

This paper proposes a novel approach to securing electronic health records(EHRs) using non-fungible tokens (NFTs). NFTs are unique digital tokens that can be used to represent ownership or proof of authenticity of digital assets. The proposed framework explores the use of NFTs for secure patient data storage, secure data transfer, data provenance, and patient ownership of data. By using NFTs to establish secure and auditable records of patient data, electronic health records management systems can better protect patient privacy and security. The paper also discusses the challenges and opportunities of using NFTs in EHRs, as well as the legal and ethical implications of giving patients ownership and control over their medical data. This paper presents a new avenue for research into securing EHRs using NFTs, which has the potential to improve patient outcomes and advance the field of health informatics.
