Analytical Study of Blockchain Enabled Security Enhancement Methods for Healthcare Data

Abstract

Healthcare data protection is very much required in the present time due to the rate of growth in data volume and sensitivity of the data. The data is collected through EHR, diagnostic image like scan or x-ray or IoT wearable devices which has sensors and shared with stakeholders who can analyse the data and use it for betterment of the processes. Benefits of medical data sharing among the entities makes it even more vulnerable. In this paper we have studied and analysed few blockchain based methods of securing healthcare data which is stored in cloud. The methods studied is successful in keeping the data safe from unauthorized access.

Simulation of the Lightweight Blockchain Technique Based on Privacy and Security for Healthcare Data for the Cloud System

“…Data is collected via Electronic Health Record (EHR), diagnostic images, x-rays, and IoT wearable devices with sensors that can be shared with stakeholders. A few blockchain based methods for securing healthcare data stored in the cloud have been investigated and analysed by the author (Roy & Singh, 2021). Benefits of sharing medical data with each other make it even more vulnerable.…”
