Abstract
Above all else, a person’s health is the most important thing, so any personnel’s medical
records are unquestionably a very sensitive and priceless resource.If this knowledge is given
to the wrong people, they may misuse it in unfathomable ways. The conventional form of
paper file storage looks to be the most dangerous method of storage, although being used
today. Additionally, computerized folder systems for storing records are not very trustworthy
and may allow the relevant authority to abuse them. However, handling such data
would have been made much simpler if the patient had been given complete control over
who should have access to these sensitive information by cutting out the middleman. The
blockchain concept is presented at this point since it has proven to be a great technology for
decentralized data storage. Data security is best ensured by blockchain decentralized apps
that link several entities, including as patients, doctors, and laboratories.
Description
Traditional methods of storing diagnosis reports on manual paper files are quite laborious
and not safe. Even though most health sectors now use digital systems, the relevant authorities
still have to go through those drab-looking folders that hold a lot of documents relating
to a single patient.
