Developing a Digital Healthcare Book based on the Blockchain Technology

Abstract

Each Government is must ensure adequate health and social welfare for people. The healthcare book is a document historicizing medical information related to a person. It helps doctors to make consistent diagnoses. The major concern of doctors is to ensure the inalterability of information provided by the healthcare book. Based on the major benefits that Blockchain technology offers, we use it to design a digital healthcare book system by writing smart contract with Ethereum blockchain. It guarantees data integrity and provides secure information to doctors on various medical exams, patients’ pathologies and others. It is a low-cost and safe system in cases of emergency. In addition, an Ethereum based implementation is used to verify the feasibility of our proposed system.
