Abstract
Blockchain technology is currently playing a significant role in providing a secure and effective means to share information in a variety of domains, including the financial sector, supply chain management (SCM) in various domains, IoT, and the field of health care systems (HCS). The HCS application's interoperability and security allow patients and vendors to communicate information seamlessly. The absence of such traits reveals the patient's difficulties in gaining access to his or her own health status. As a result, incorporating blockchain technology will eliminate this disadvantage, allowing the HCS to become more effective and efficient. These potential benefits provide a foundation for blockchain technology to be used in various aspects of HCS, such as maintain the patient electronic health record (EHR) and electronic medical records (EMR) for various medical devices, billing, and telemedicine systems, and so on.

Summary
In a peer-to-peer network, blockchain provides a safe and advanced network for executing and exchanging information between multiple nodes. When data is exchanged in a blockchain network, three primary components are present: Blocks, Nodes, and Miners. The node is the most critical element which has to main the DLT installed in the network for sharing the information (Zhang, P., et al, 2017). Blockchain technology is a decentralized system that is deployed in a peer-to-peer network to store transactional information, known as blocks, in a public database called a distributed ledger that is accessible to any active network participant (McGhin, T.,et al, 2019). Blockchain technology plays a vital role in providing a secure platform for storing and sharing medical records among the patient and the doctor. The contribution of this research work is to share the medical data between the patients and doctors to provide an improvised decision system for the health care system.
