Blockchain Technology for Secure Shared Medical Data

Abstract

A blockchain is a shared database allowing trust to be created between individuals without using intermediaries. The architecture here is decentralized, the data is distributed among the users, and therefore the information can never be erased. Today, many fields are interested in the development of products and technical solutions based on Blockchain technology. In this paper, we investigate blockchain in developing a Secure Shared Medical Record system (SSMR) for health data management. The proposed system aims to collect, store and share electronic medical records securely. It also makes it possible to provide doctors, for example, with medical information from other healthcare professionals, by defining a medical profile for each patient.
