Healthcare System Using Blockchain

Abstract

Medical data privacy and data protection are crucial issues during medical services. Data security or secure storage of medical data is always a major concern for the majority of the population. An effective and efficient healthcare system requires a technology platform to communicate securely and seamlessly. Blockchain has been emerging technology for a few years now. The key features of blockchain which attract most developers are its immutability, decentralization, transparency, distributed ledger. So, the use of Blockchain in HealthCare systems will make a drastic impact as it can be used to securely store personal medical data. This paper has designed a HealthCare system that securely manages personal medical data and creates interaction between Doctors, Patients, Insurance Companies, and Pharmacy shops or Medical shops. The paper further highlights a comparison between a traditional system and the proposed system, describing the scope of the system, areas of future work.
