A Decentralized Blockchain based system for Secure Health Record and Claims processing

Abstract

Blockchain which emerged in the last decade has been considered as a very powerful and potential technology since it has been applied and gained popularity from various domains like supply chain, healthcare, energy, music, food, finance, insurance, government, etc. There are several use cases in the health care where we can apply blockchain for maintaining electronic medical records, remote patient monitoring records, drug supply chain, insurance claims, hospital information system, etc. Any intentionally modified data or data misrepresentation or deception in the insurance could intend to result in unauthorized benefits. These fraudulent claims keep increasing annually and because of this, the health insurance system is on a greater disadvantage. So by using blockchain we can overcome the various challenges and issues in the current system. Our focus is to build a secure system to securely manage the health care data and also to track the insurance activities so that we can prevent health insurance fraud. We design a blockchain based solution for health care data collection andinsurance claims by deploying blockchain since it is secure, tamper proof, immutable. Thus it also gives us added security since it is impossible for anyone to modify/claim the insurance falsely since only the authorized people will beable to do so. We have used ganache blockchain to experiment the same and used solidity language for the coding.
