Abstract

With the progressive growth in the adaptability of the Blockchain technology with flexible solutions, various industries, academicians and researchers are paying attentions in such area to explore Nobel opportunities. Due to its qualities like decentralization, immutability, and encryption, block chain has the potential to shift the hierarchy of healthcare also. This area has observed many benefits of Blockchain technology, but still people have hesitations to adapt it due to lack of standardization, high cost, lack of awareness, and lack of technical knowledge to implement it. This chapter aimed to showcase the potential for block chain technology in the tale care system.Various BC based models and frameworks are discussed to cover various stages of secured data transfer for patient empowerment. This covers all technological issues in storing medical records in the various application areas where block chains will provide secured and authenticated transfers of patient personal data.
