Abstract

This article describes the implementation of Blockchain Technology in the HealthCare domain, using the Ethereum framework is an important tool. This is a proof of concept application (PoC); Since, it is Blockchain applications (Dapp) are heavily dependent upon smart-contracts, the application is required to use a solidity framework, ganache, Web3.js for Front-end development. This application shows how patient data can be retrieved and stored in the Blockchain cloud. The designed system also helps the doctors to directly connect to their patients. The opinion of experts can be made available to the patients.

Associated organizations (anyone providing treatment, payment, patient sharing, and health care services) and business partners (anyone who can access patient information and provide treatment, payment, or performance) must meet HIPAA compliance. Keeping all of this in mind, medical data is safe and secure by the well-known Blockchain application health application currently.
