“…A blockchain is a distributed ledger, or database, of transactions which are immutable and traceable [ 16 ]. There are three main blockchain designs, public—which is not controlled by any single entity and is open source, allowing any actor to participate without restriction, private—which is permission based and accessed only by authorised actors, and lastly hybrid – which provides flexibility and the ability to designate subsets of data to be available publicly or privately [ 17 ]. There have been few studies exploring blockchains potential application within the healthcare sector to date, particularly for PH data.…”

This exploratory, qualitative study set out to identify the encountered and perceived barriers to public health (PH) data sharing in a Canadian province with a view to assessing blockchain technology as a potential solution. A topic guide was developed, based on previous research in the area. This was then utilised for ten in-depth, semi-structured interviews with PH professionals between 27 May and 18 June 2019. Each stage of research was congruent with the philosophical underpinning of Gadamerian hermeneutic phenomenology. The major themes that emerged from the data collected were related to the information systems in use, data quality and ownership, as well as client identity management. The recurring core theme throughout all interviews was related to ineffective leadership and management, contributing to each major theme. Overwhelmingly the results show that the majority of barriers faced in this province are human-related. It is concluded that while blockchain technology shows promise for enhancing data sharing in healthcare, it is still many years away from being implemented in this Canadian province. As the results of this study indicate, there are human related barriers that could be addressed in the meantime, which are outside the scope of a technical solution. Future work should explore the perspectives of other stakeholders, such as the provincial government to fully understand the potential for using blockchain to share PH data in this province.

“…Research by Shah et al proposed a secure blockchain network with compatibility to manage and store Electronic Health Records (EHR) of all patients and ease accessing historic and real-time patient data while reducing the cost of data accommodation [6]. But there is no specific explanation and description of specific incentive mechanisms in this model.…”

“…In this paper, we focus on the role of the blockchain in managing and combating the COVID-19 crisis. Blockchain technology has features that enable it to revolutionize various sectors [6], including the health sector, as it is considered one of the most affected sectors by the COVID-19 crisis. Furthermore, according to the European Parliamentary Research Service (EPRS), blockchain is a critical technology to fight COVID-19 [7].…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected aspects of human life and various sectors, especially the health sector. These conditions led to the creation of new patterns of life that people have had to deal with to reduce the spread of the epidemic by committing to social distancing, among others. Therefore, governments and technological organizations had to take advantage of technological developments in the current era to overcome these challenges that were created by these conditions. In this paper, we will discuss the role of the blockchain in combating the COVID-19 crisis. Then we will review the recently recorded blockchain-based research proposals to control the COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, we will highlight the challenges of using blockchain to combat the COVID-19 pandemic and find solutions to mitigate these challenges.

“…[1] In the same vein another study focussed on developing an efficient, interoperable and highly secure blockchain network to store and manage Electronic Health Records (EHR) of all patients would enable seamless access to historic and real-time patient data while eliminating the burden and cost of data reconciliation. [5] Blockchain may provide a solution to both secure patient health data from unauthorized breaches and at the same time make access to such data easier for patients [6] One study highlighted the potential use of blockchain technology in association with mobile-based healthcare applications thus imparting patient centric care as well as offering patients' complete authority over the sharing and privacy of their data [12]. In a related work, a privacy-preserving DML model has been proposed for a permissioned blockchain network to resolve such important issues for tackling the issues of privacy, security and efficiency.…”

A blockchain is a community ledger deal out in excess of a set-up that testimony operations (memorandums send commencing individual system knot to a further) carry out in the middle of network contributors. Every operation is confirmed by network nodes according to a mainstream agreement method prior to being added to the block chain. Recorded information is able to not be revolutionized or wipe away and the past of each operation can exist re-formed by the side of in the least time. Authors have been proposed a system using block chain mechanism for health insurance entails institution of burly procedures for health data collection and compilation right from grass root level. Recommended technique bestows the precise to the policyholder of health insurance to relocate the credit gained him for pre-existing conditions and time vault keeping outs in case he chooses to switch the insurance provider.
