Blockchain-Based Medical Record Management with Biofeedback Information

Abstract

Blockchain is a new emerging technology of distributed databases, which guarantees the integrity, security and incorruptibility of data by means of the cryptography. Such features are suitable for secure and reliable data storage. This chapter investigates the blockchain-based architecture with applications to medical health record or biofeedback information management. This framework employs the smart contract to establish a medical record management system to ensure the privacy of patients. Moreover, the blockchain technique accelerates the medical record or information exchange such that the cost of human resource is significant reduced. All patients can manage their individual medical records and information easily in the different hospitals and clinics. They also have the privilege to deal with and authorize personal medical records in the proposed management framework.

“…Para lograr el consenso de la red, Bitcoin emplea un mecanismo de Prueba de trabajo (PoW) (Puthal et al, 2018), que requiere la solución de un problema matemático para cada bloque recién extraído. Por su parte, Ethereum utiliza tanto PoW como Prueba de participación (Wang et al, 2020). En ambos enfoques, los nodos deben utilizar recursos, ya sean informáticos o monetarios, para producir bloques.…”
