• Abstract: In this paper, we propose a robust health record storage and management system built on blockchain technology to address the challenges faced by traditional healthcare record systems. The primary advantage of employing blockchain in healthcare record management is its ability to provide a secure and decentralized platform. Unlike traditional centralized databases, where a single point of failure can compromise data integrity and security, blockchain distributes data across a network of nodes, ensuring redundancy and resilience against cyber-attacks. This distributed nature of blockchain enhances data security and privacy, crucial considerations when dealing with sensitive health information. Central to our proposed system is the utilization of smart contracts, which are self-executing contracts with predefined rules and conditions. Smart contracts automate processes related to health record management, such as data access, sharing, and updating, based on predefined permissions and protocols. This automation not only streamlines administrative tasks but also reduces the risk of human errors and ensures data accuracy and consistency. Furthermore, our system prioritizes patient empowerment by granting individuals complete control over their health records. Patients can securely access and manage their data using cryptographic keys, granting permission to healthcare providers or other authorized entities as needed. Overall, our proposed health record storage and management system on the blockchain offer significant advantages over traditional systems, including enhanced security, data integrity, transparency, and patient control. By leveraging blockchain technology and smart contracts, healthcare organizations can revolutionize their record management practices, and maintaining secure ecosystems.
