Implementation of a secure and privacy-aware E-Health record and IoT data sharing using blockchain

Abstract

Medical applications are fast growing in popularity, both for professional use and for patient-centered apps. The current Health record and IoT data sharing systems however have a fair amount of problems associated with privacy and security. The secure and privacy aware E-Health record to propose a mechanism using blockchain and IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) which offers a solution to all these problems. It also includes limitations and safeguards on what can be done and cannot be done with your personal information in some cases. The IPFS data will be dispersed among the nodes. Use of IPFS (Interplanetary File System) to store health records, which has the benefit of being distributed which in turn makes record tamper-free. In addition, the proposed model keeps track of disease statistics without invading any patient's privacy. This is conceivable not only for web pages, but for any type of file that a computer might save, whether it's a document, an email, or even a database record, thanks to IPFS.
