As the healthcare industries move into the digitalization of health records, blockchain application could be a significant game-changer in the healthcare sector, creating a secure and flexible ecosystem for the exchange of records. Making healthcare clearer by creating a blockchain system to eliminate fraud and improve data accuracy is vital. Blockchain can securely interoperable record data such as organs, blood, critical drugs, and keeping medical licenses and certificates. With the emergence of Bitcoin, the first popular blockchain decentralized application, blockchain has become a viable solution for recording transactions in a growing list called blocks which are linked and protected using cryptography. However, with the ever-increasing demand for blockchain professionals and developers, there are few hands-on labs/modules available for training current students, the future developer professionals. The objective is to develop a framework including a series of hands-on labs that would fit individual student's needs for blockchain in public health.
