ON THE USE OF BLOCKCHAIN STRUCTURES IN A MULTIAGENT BASED SOFTWARE ENGINEERING METHOD: A HEALTHCARE EXAMPLE
PEDRO AUGUSTO DA SILVA E SOUZA MIRANDA · 2019
This paper presents an implementation approach for a private blockchain that is managed by software agents for healthcare data storage.Blockchain technology is changing the way we store private information.Now, it is possible to share private information while not revealing its owner's identity.This paper presents a solution, which enables users to store medical data by using blockchains along with software agents.Further research work has shown that healthcare data, as sensitive information, should be stored in private blockchains through the use of appropriate methods.Software engineering techniques have been used to achieve the proposed solution.The result is a private blockchain that is suitable for manipulating HL7 data, ensuring anonymity and privacy.This can be achieved through software agents that act as regulatory controls for the private blockchains.
