Sangeeta Gupta · International Journal of Software Innovation · 2021
Blockchain in the recent times stands as a buzz word to deal with huge set of real time applications that function in a manual way rather than in an automated manner. There may be several intermediate phases involved to access legitimate records of significance in various sectors like financial industry, supply chain market, educational organizations, healthcare systems etc. But, when the amount of data is enormous, then manual steps to infer a conclusion after undergoing verification and validation phases, is a time-consuming approach. Hence, there is a necessity to automate the process flow using emerging tools and technologies such as blockchain. Towards this end, a novel Private Blockchain-Cloud System (PBCS) for Healthcare Services is proposed in this work. An model is presented to secure the patient records via e-block access platform where only the person holding the legitimate key can access the data. Security is further strengthened by deploying the blocks of a blockchain in cloud environment.
