Abstract

As the value of blockchain has been widely recognized, more and more industries are proposing their blockchain solutions, including the rehabilitation medical industry. Blockchain can play a powerful role in the field of rehabilitation medicine, bringing a new research idea to the management of rehabilitation medical data. The electronic rehabilitation medical record (ERMR) contains rich data dimensions, which can provide comprehensive and accurate information for assessing the health of patients, thereby enhancing the effect of rehabilitation treatment. This paper analyzed the data characteristics of ERMR and the application requirements of blockchain in rehabilitation medicine. Based on the basic principles of blockchain, the technical advantages of blockchain used in ERMR sharing have been studied. In addition, this paper designed a blockchain-based ERMR sharing scheme in detail, using the specific technologies of blockchain such as hybrid P2P network, block-chain data structure, asymmetric encryption algorithm, digital signature, and Raft consensus algorithm to achieve distributed storage, data security, privacy protection, data consistency, data traceability, and data ownership in the process of ERMR sharing. The research results of this paper have important practical significance for realizing the safe and efficient sharing of ERMR, and can provide important technical references for the management of rehabilitation medical data with broad application prospects

Highlights

With the rapid development of the rehabilitation medical industry and the rapid increase of rehabilitation medical data, many medical institutions have begun to use electronic rehabilitation medical record (ERMR) to record the status of patients receiving rehabilitation services
The ERMR sharing scheme proposed in this paper can be developed and deployed on the basis of the Hyperledger Fabric framework, and smart contracts are written in Go language
The scheme proposed in this paper helps to realize the safer and faster sharing of ERMR, the rehabilitation hospitals, rehabilitation centers, communities, insurance companies, research institutions, government departments, and other institutions can benefit from it, so as to better facilitate the development of smart healthcare

Summary

Introduction

With the rapid development of the rehabilitation medical industry and the rapid increase of rehabilitation medical data, many medical institutions have begun to use electronic rehabilitation medical record (ERMR) to record the status of patients receiving rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation medical record comprehensively records the patient’s identity information, medical history, examination results, and the evaluation, diagnosis, and training of rehabilitation medicine. It is an important part of rehabilitation medical work and determines the overall quality of rehabilitation medical treatment. ERMR can provide more convenient storage and query for rehabilitation medical data and store more comprehensive diagnosis information. At the time of diagnosis, the rehabilitation doctor can quickly and accurately understand the patient’s medical history through the ERMR, so as to make a more comprehensive and accurate analysis and assessment of the patient’s condition. The sharing of ERMR is beneficial to rehabilitation research institutions and provides basic data and case references for prospective scientific research [2, 3]
