Securing Healthcare Data With Blockchain

Abstract

This chapter shows that blockchain has a lot of potential for revolutionizing the traditional healthcare industry. When attempting to completely integrate blockchain technology with existing EHR systems, however, a number of research and operational hurdles remain. The authors evaluated and discussed some of these issues in this chapter. After that, they discovered a variety of possible research topics, such as IoT, big data, machine learning, and edge computing. They offer a methodology for implementing blockchain technology in the healthcare industry for electronic health records (EHR). The goal of the proposed structure is to first integrate blockchain technology for EHR and then to enable safe storage of electronic data for users of the framework by setting access controls. They hope that this review will help us gain a better understanding of the development and deployment of future generation EHR systems that will benefit humankind.
