Abstract

Abstract: In recent years, the integration of blockchain technology with healthcare systems has garnered considerable attention due to its potential to enhance security, privacy, and interoperability in managing patient medical records. This paper proposes a novel approach to patient medical record management by leveraging Ethereum blockchain and InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) for storage, within a government-controlled framework. The system ensures secure and immutable storage of patients' medical records, accessible only by verified medical professionals, thus facilitating informed diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, the platform provides mechanisms for patient recourse in case of inaccuracies, as well as potential integration with insurance agencies. Furthermore, the proposed system envisages a future extension to facilitate anonymized data sharing with the scientific community, thereby contributing to advancements in medical research. This paper provides a comprehensive academic description of the proposed approach, discussing its technical architecture, security measures, regulatory framework, and potential impact on healthcare delivery and research.
