Abstract
Nowadays, blockchain is developing as a secure and trustworthy platform for secure information sharing in areas of application like banking, supply chain management, food industry, energy, the Internet, and medical services. Besides, the blockchain can be described in a decentralized manner as an immutable ledger for recording data entries. Furthermore, this new technology has been developed to interrupt a variety of data-driven fields, including the health sector. However, blockchain refers to the distributed ledger technology, which constitutes an innovation in the information recording and sharing without a trusted third party. In this paper, blockchain and Distributed Ledger-based Improved Biomedical Security system (BDL-IBS) has been proposed to enhance the privacy and data security across healthcare applications. Further, our goal is to make it possible for patients to use the data to support their care and to provide strong consent systems for sharing data among different organizations and applications, since this includes managing and accessing a high amount of medical information, and this technology can maintain data to ensure reliability. Finally, results show that new blockchain-based digital platforms allow for fast, easy, and seamless interactions between data suppliers to enhance privacy and data security, including for patients themselves.
Highlights
Recent trends in technology are exploited for diverse real-world applications to provide definite solutions for end users
electronic health records (EHRs) is an organized set of patient-/user-related information that is digitally shared through a secure platform for ubiquitous access [5]
End-to-end security, and privacy are the prime concerns in sharing EHR’s between users [6], this is vital as the technology requires additional infrastructures such as cloud, Internet of things, mobile devices, etc. for sharing
Summary
Recent trends in technology are exploited for diverse real-world applications to provide definite solutions for end users. Blockchain is another technology that is commonly used in different applications for providing distributed access to resources and unalterable information [8]. Blockchain eases EHR sharing between end-user applications and healthcare infrastructures without interrupting the communication process [11,12]. Such facilities are provided through line-of-trust and authentication with interoperability using the distributed electronic ledger technology. Blockchain-assisted authentication and trust-based security are assimilated with the medical systems for improving the quality of information sharing and preventing unauthorized interruptions [17,18]. Blockchain and Distributed Ledger based Improved Biomedical Security system (BDL-IBS) has been proposed to enhance the privacy and data security across healthcare applications
