Abstract:
With the advancements in wearable technology, use of Patient Generated Health
Data has been on the verge of making it to the normal. They provide a way for
patients to generate their own health data, which gives them awareness on the state of
their health, and communicate it to doctors for diagnosis. However, with traditional
systems, sharing data that includes private and sensitive data can be unsafe and
their data might be targeted by malicious entities. Thus, a need to develop a system
where secure data sharing can be done is needed. Blockchain technology has been
on a steady rise in the past few years, boasting security and performance advantages
compared to traditional systems. To address these, this paper proposes a patientcentered
blockchain-based system that takes advantage of the built-in security and
privacy features of Blockchain.
