Blockchain based Implementation of Healthchain

Abstract

Medical care has been an indispensable part of our lives and so the medical data such as prescriptions, previous medical records has also become a vital part for patient’s diagnosis and for further proceeding. Traditionally, medical data were recorded on paper, which were prone to get damaged and modified. Therefore, it was necessary to preserve the data electronically. So we introduce Healthchain, A blockchain-based privacy preserving scheme for health data. health analyzers can diagnose anytime and anywhere based on the Health data and publishes the diagnosis as a transaction. We also introduce Inter Planetary File System(IPFS) which is a content addressable, distributed file system to store data with high integrity and resiliency.
