Blockchain technologies are gaining massive impel in the present digital era. The blockchain is a data structure in which the consequent data is appended to the existing data and is maintained by all the participants of the network. The participants are also called as nodes, where the nodes in the blockchain have an agreement in common on the order of the blocks which contains several transactions based on the tool or platform used by the application. Hence, the blockchain is considered as ordered chronological transactions. The health industries are currently focusing on the blockchain technology to maintain the health data in a more secure, confident and decentralized, as in the current record management system they unable to manage the privacy and integrity. The proposed work is to frame an architecture for the Electronic Health Record (EHR) using blockchain technology. The proposed system is a twofold process where first we focus on the block creation and secondly secure the data using Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) Algorithm.
