Abstract

Medical data security and privacy are becoming more important as healthcare organizations digitize. The security and integrity of sensitive medical data are at risk due to traditional centralized databases' susceptibility to data breaches, hacking attempts, and unauthorized access. The chapter gives a full overview and study of how blockchain technology can be used to secure medical records. Blockchain, as a decentralized and tamper-proof ledger, offers potential solutions to the existing security challenges. The chapter explores various blockchain-based approaches, protocols, and frameworks designed to enhance data security, access control, privacy, and data sharing in the healthcare domain. The analysis includes an evaluation of the advantages, limitations, and implementation considerations of blockchain technology, along with a discussion of potential future research directions.
