Abstract

Mainly, the need to share the personal health records (PHRs) is highly important in the current society due to the raging use of technology. This project specifically attempts to solve the problem of efficient PHR management through the incorporation of block chain technology. The system involves three primary stakeholders: administrators, patients who are the data owners and data users that are hospital staff, insurance companies, and other medical personnel. The existential question in such research includes is the data stored on the block chain tampered in any way. Proposed system effectively authenticates the data integrity with the help of SHA hashing to prevent unauthorized modifications in data. It is a hybrid cloud where the application part of it runs on a private cloud for security reasons while data is on the public cloud for efficiency. Attribute Based encryption guarantees that the health records data is only accessible by the right personnel while making the data searchable, improving performance, and protecting the information from the alteration.
