Record Storage and Management System UsingBlockchain

Abstract

On a daily basis we deal with documents like educational records, health records, certificates etc. Medical records are still being stored on legacy systems which carries the risk of losing important documents. There are security and privacy concerns regarding the safety of documents on centralized server. To overcome these difficulties, we made a blockchain based record storage web app through which anyone upload their medical records on the blockchain and can access them with a private key. The patient or the user can download and access reports from anywhere and can also manage to share them with his doctor etc. Blockchain is a decentralized, distributed, peer to peer ledger on the internet. Blockchain technology helps to maintain security and reliability without placing any trust in a third party. The use of smart contracts in blockchain helps in making things much easier. This paper examines the record storage system including the technologies involved and the methodologies. The approach used for making an electronic health record storage web app through which we can implement a more broader record storage system that can store and manage numerous types of records.
