Abstract

A new era of “Smart Living” has begun all thanks to the Technology in Healthcare ecosystem and the ever-pervasive smart health devices. The idea of Smart Living has also fuelled the concept of Smart and “Healthy” living with the aim to increase the longevity and quality of one’s life. Healthcare and Technology together aspires to raise the standard of healthcare by offering patients real-time services through the intelligent use of various gadgets and sensors. Since the healthcare ecosystem deals with such sensitive data it becomes imperative to secure the ecosystem, which otherwise, is not possible with traditional technologies. Permissioned Blockchain is one such technology to transform the world of Healthcare Data Management with its inherent properties of privacy and immutability. Hyperledger Fabric is one of the permissioned blockchain network which has a wide adaptability in healthcare use cases. The proposed architecture, this research work, focuses on how data is handled by various participating entities and keeps the control of the data with its owner, i.e., the patients. The data is managed and stored as Private Data Collections only at authorised Hospitals whereas the privacy and security requirements are enforced by smart contracts without any central authority.
