Abstract

In addition to its unique characteristics, health care data make it an attractive target for criminals. Additionally, healthcare data is highly regulated by US & EU privacy and security laws and international laws governing data storage in the cloud. The value of healthcare data and these regulatory requirements have motivated organizations to use blockchain to protect data. Blockchain will facilitate effective data exchange while maintaining patient privacy and data protection. Cloud data has long been a draw for cyber attackers. Today, cloud health data has been their latest interest. The cloud-based application that theoretically transforms the operation and communication of existing healthcare networks is EHR. The EHR is a digital file comprising the personal details of citizens/patients (name, photo, address, age, etc.) and health (existing diseases, previous surgeries, allergies, blood type, allergies, vaccinations, etc.). Maximizing cost efficiency is one of the drivers for integrating cloud services in health care. The return on investment for healthcare services is better when using cloud solutions. The cloud infrastructure includes a centralized medical record entry point, allowing many clinicians to display laboratory reports or consult patient notes. Loud technologies would allow researchers to explore these data and analyses public health more accurately. Cloud technology is not the best way to handle the medical services and records of the healthcare system. Nevertheless, this technology allows patients and physicians access to software that will enhance patient care. The Cloud also provides an excellent opportunity to utilize patient data on a health computer scale to draw insights on health and allow patients to manage personal details quickly and efficiently. There are hurdles in introducing emerging technologies and threatening privacy violations, but health services will utilize this increasingly growing and valuable technology with the appropriate training and framework. As part of this paper, we present a patient-centric healthcare data management solution that uses blockchain technology as a storage mechanism that helps to ensure patient privacy.
