Blockchain Technology in E-Healthcare

Abstract

Blockchain is one of the technologies that is gaining significant attention within the healthcare industry. In order for blockchain to reach its full potential, it's essential that governments and public institutions map the blockchain ecosystem and establish a blockchain framework for coordinating early adopters. The authors have proposed a web-based application using blockchain with security algorithms to store patients' and other users' details who sign up on the website. Blockchain is highly secure as any tampering with data in any block is not possible. Blockchain attributes ensure smooth interaction between different applications and systems along the availability chain. They also reward the patient with their own implemented bitcoin on their transaction. Ethereum library Web3 is used to make a complete decentralized peer-to-peer chat service without any involvement of a third party. The application will be able to send encrypted messages both securely and anonymously. Blockchain technology has been seeing widespread interest as a means to ensure the CIA triad in fewer environments.
