Abstract

In this paper, we present a healthcare data integration management and sharing platform based on a permissioned blockchain-based system called the Hyperledger fabric. The Hyperledger fabric allows patients to easily access their data, share the data with agencies that need it, and also reward participants. The healthcare data is stored in the blockchain by a de-identification process. Privacy is protected by setting detailed access rights to the stored data. The proposed model provides higher security than other models using a public blockchain. This study confirms that patient data can be stored more securely, by comparing the data stored in the blockchain with that from existing information storage methods.
