“…The proposed method is based on the availability and accessibility characteristics of blockchain, which will be used for distributed service response. There has been a breakthrough in IoT, but the consensus mechanism has been a headache for non-arithmetic devices 31 . Disease prediction is also more effective than other deep learning models as the proposed model yields higher prediction accuracy.…”

With the rapid development of modern medical technology and the dramatic increase in the amount of medical data, traditional centralized medical information management is facing many challenges. In recent years blockchain, which is a peer-to-peer distributed database, has been increasingly accepted and adopted by different industries and use cases. Key areas of healthcare blockchain applications include electronic medical record (EMR) management, medical device supply chain management, remote condition monitoring, insurance claims and personal health data (PHD) management, among others. Even so, there are a number of challenges in applying blockchain concepts to healthcare and its data, including interoperability, data security privacy, scalability, TPS and so on. While these challenges may hinder the development of blockchain in healthcare scenarios, they can be improved with existing technologies In this paper, we propose a blockchain-based healthcare operations management framework that is combined with the Interplanetary File System (IPFS) for managing EMRs, protects data privacy through a distributed approach while ensuring that this medical ledger is tamper-proof. Doctors act as full nodes, patients can participate in network maintenance either as light nodes or as full nodes, and the hospital acts as the endpoint database of data, i.e., the IPFS node, which saves the arithmetic power of nodes and allows the data stored in the hospitals and departments to be shared with the other organizations that have uploaded the data. Therefore, the integration of blockchain and zero-knowledge proof proposed in this paper helps to protect data privacy and is efficient, better scalable, and more throughput.

“…In recent years, some cloud-based healthcare systems are established to meet the demand for data aggregation. However, the privacy of data in cloud-based frameworks is still under threat [28]. erefore, many scholars proposed hybrid schemes of blockchain and cloud storage to implement secure and efficient data sharing [29].…”

“…At the same time, centralized access will also meet the low-efficiency problem of data transmission in the network. In most cases, the proposed hybrid data sharing model still lacks complete robustness and partially meets the high computation load and communication overheads [28]. In addition, most related studies did not concern about the existing/historical data sharing, interaction efficiency, user-friendliness, and integration with existing hospital information systems.…”

The sharing of electronic healthcare records (EHRs) is important to healthcare and medical research. However, institutions are faced with difficulties in privacy protection and efficiently secure data exchange. The main objective of this study is to propose a controllable secure blockchain-based EHRs sharing scheme. For this purpose, blockchain technologies are combined with interplanetary file systems (IPFS) to provide efficient secure EHRs sharing. Firstly, the IPFS-based EHR file system (IEFS) is designed to save and share large-size EHR files among medical institutions. With the high-throughput content-addressed block storage model and appropriate redundant backup of IPFS, IEFS is tamper-resistant and free of a single point of failure. Secondly, the blockchain is used to implement the blockchain-based EHR abstract system (BEAS) to manipulate EHR abstracts access. In BEAS, the EHR file addresses generated by IEFS are encrypted and saved in EHR abstracts for privacy protection. Since EHR abstracts are encrypted by patients’ public keys, the sharing of EHR files is under the control of patients. In our experiment, a prototype system is developed to validate the proposed scheme. The experimental results showed that (1) EHRs are securely shared under the control of patients and (2) EHR files are retrieved at an acceptable speed supported by IPFS technology. In this paper, solutions to some important practical issues such as incapacitated patients, encryption key forgetting/missing, and efficient interaction of doctors with EHRs sharing scheme are also seriously discussed.

“…Shanthapriya and V. Vaithianathan proposed a scheme that performs the cryptic operation using AES cryptography and Blockchains using hash keys. Furthermore, their proposed healthcare ecosystem includes a prediction model that uses a deep learning algorithm to diagnose a patient's illness (Shanthapriya et al, 2020). Ekblaw, Ariel, et al proposed MedRec, an innovative, decentralized record management system designed to handle EHRs using Blockchain.…”

Healthcare systems around the world are beset by problems due to the lack of effective communication. Significant problems relating to patient medical records access, transition, and storage have persisted due to the lack of resources to adequately interact and track records between all main participants. To overcome this challenge, a nationwide Electronic Health Record (EHR) solution may be utilized. To further enhance EHR efficiency, Blockchain technology can be used to improve security, performance, and cost. In this survey, various literature proposing Blockchain-based EHR systems are discussed, along with their benefits and potential research gaps. Also Authors proposed a comprehensive architecture that could bridge all the gaps.
