How Blockchain for Medical Records Works
Use cases
Electronic health records management and exchange
Healthcare providers use a medical blockchain solution to create and edit new patients’ health records and store them in a HIPAA-compliant way with no unsolicited data access and record changes. The solution enables secure access to patients’ health records for multiple healthcare providers and the exchange of the records within the blockchain network.
Personal health records access (for patients)
Patients can access their health data anytime to monitor their health state, select a medical insurance plan, etc. If patients get care outside the blockchain network, they can access their data via the patient interface, download necessary records.
