Abstract

In yesteryears, the healthcare data related to each patient was limited. It was stored and controlled by the hospital authorities and was seldom regulated. With the increase in awareness and technology, the amount of medical data per person has increased exponentially. All this data is essential for the correct diagnosis of the patient. The patients also want access to their data to seek medical advice from different doctors. This raises several challenges like security, privacy, data regulation, etc. As health-related data are privacy-sensitive, the increase in data stored increases the risk of data exposure. Data availability and privacy are essential in healthcare. The availability of correct information is critical for the treatment of the patient. Information not easily accessed by the patients also complicates seeking medical advice from different hospitals. However, if data is easily accessible to everyone, it makes privacy and security difficult. Blockchains to store and secure data will not only ensure data privacy but will also provide a common method of data regulation.
