Abstract

AbstractIn a medical record management system, a complete database is used to store and obtain patient medical information. The electronic medical record has supplanted the conventional paper medical record as the primary source of healthcare information for clinical, legal, and administrative purposes. The risks of data being misused are high because the patient has no control over the data. As a consequence, we need a patient-centred approach that is fully decentralized, capable of detecting data theft, preventing data abuse, and enabling patients to exercise control over their access. The perfect approach to all issues and needs is Blockchain technology. Blockchain has the potential to have an effect on billing, record sharing, medical testing, identity theft, and financial data theft in the future. In addition, the implementation of smart contracts in healthcare could make things much simpler. When this command is used, the Blockchain can be used to create and validate records. This paper compares and contrasts the most widely used Blockchain systems. The Hyperledger framework and the Ethereum platform are the two major general-purpose blockchain frameworks in use. The primary difference between Hyperledger and Ethereum is the purpose for which they were developed. The primary goal of this paper is to find the contrast between these two blockchain platforms for medical record management systems in order to determine which blockchain platform is best for developing healthcare applications.KeywordsBlockchainHyperledger FabricEthereumSmart contractHealthcare applicationConsensusPermissionedPermissionlessDistributed ledgerHash
