Securing Health Care Data for Medical Research Using Blockchain Technology

Abstract

This Paper is an attempt to develop a Health based Block chain technology for security of health data which assures benefit for the patients. The closed model Blockchain is implemented on a health sector in this implementation in order to find out the similarity between patients for having a reference based implementation, managing and sharing electronic health and medical records to allow patients, clinics, hospitals and other medical data researchers to share data., and increase interoperability. The profile matching algorithm with blockchain security is being implemented using the Ethereum crypto currency implementation using the Pyeth software on Python platform. The experimental setup involving the Heart rate sensor, Blood Pressure sensor and the Raspberry Pi is developed to realize the output of the required implementation. It is observed that the profile matching is possible using the mining techniques and correlation between the two patients data collected in the blocks.
