Health Chain

Abstract

The research shows that the blockchain has a wide range of healthcare applications including electronic medical records, drug and pharmaceutical supply chain management, biomedical research and education, remote patient monitoring, health data analysis, among others. A number of blockchain-based healthcare applications have been developed as examples based on emerging blockchain paradigms, such as smart contracts, etc. In this research, a health chain system is introduced. HealthChain is an online portal that maintains a digital copy of a patient's medical history, along with all his/her diagnoses, prescriptions, and medical receipts.
