Blockchain Application in Health Record Management Systems

With the contributions of different cutting-edge technology, healthcare systems are able to govern and keep an eye on the health of their patients. It is essential that the development of these systems have a clear and unambiguous focus on increasing the effectiveness of these systems. The distributed ledger technology known as blockchain, with its built-in consensus methods, decentralized data storage, and cryptographically protected protocols, may be used to make such systems more resilient and trustworthy. Blockchain, the technology underpinning bitcoins, offers a decentralized network to confirm transactions and guarantee that they cannot be altered once they have been recorded. Blockchain technology minimizes the dangers that are associated with having a centralized design by decentralizing the function of information validation among the peers of the network. It has the potential to transform a wide variety of commercial applications, including data management, prediction markets, and the sharing economy, among others. The primary objective of this study is to conduct literature research about blockchain applications in the healthcare industry, particularly medical record management systems. In the context of this project, 14 papers have been chosen to be looked at. This article provides a quick overview of blockchain, including its history, advantages, uses, and security. In addition, the medical record management system, together with its history and EHRs, as well as a blockchain-based HER management system, is presented further down in this article.
