A Secure Healthcare System Design Framework using Blockchain Technology

Abstract

Blockchain, the technology of the future neutrally facilitated the financial transactions in cryptocurrencies by strictly eliminating the need for a governing authority or a management that was required to authorize the transactions based on trust and transparency. The Blockchain Network also follows the principle of absolute privacy and anonymity on the identification of the users associated in a transaction. Since the time of its inception, the Blockchain Technology has undergone research that has demonstrated some various kinds of methods to sort out the access control system of the conventional system. In recent years Blockchain has also shown optimum reliability in multiple sectors such as Smart Home, Healthcare, Banking, Information Storage Management, Security and etc. This work in terms is further concerned to the sector of Smart Healthcare, which has grown to a much affluence regarding the efficient technique of serving and dictating medical health care to the patients with the point of maintaining privacy of the patients' data and also the process of laying out real time accurate and trusted data to the medical practitioners. But in the scenario of Smart Healthcare, the primary concern arises in the fact of Privacy and Security of the data of the patients due to the interoperability of multiple stakeholders in the process. Also, there has been a fact of determining accurate and proper data to the doctors if the concerned subject is out of reach from the in hand medical service. Therefore, this Concern of privacy and also mitigation of the accurate data has been very much managed in the work by regulating, a monitoring and sensing paradigm with accordance to the IOT and the Blockchain as a transaction and access management system and also an appropriate medium for laying out accurate and trusted data for serving with deliberate medical care and benefits to the patients across.
