HRE(Healthcare Records Exchange) system, is meant to fulfil the desired needs according to the requirements of the healthcare system using blockchain technology. Blockchain is a decentralized database or sometimes called a ledger. A database with continuously growing records or lists which are linked to another block and secured using cryptography. Since the database is decentralized, P2P computing or networking is used, it is best for the execution of sensitive data like records of a patient in a hospital. It is a distributed application architecture that partitions the task between peers to complete the in a better flow. Here all the peers are equally privileged equipotent participants in the application. The form peer to peer or network of nodes. A smart contract is a programmable contract with terms and conditions between the parties, which is contained within the decentralized Blockchain network. In the coming time the field of medical science, the data will be compared with various other databases of the hospital in which the risk of a data breach is higher using smart contracts and Blockchain. This risk can be minimized as Blockchain technology is one of the most secure methods to secure the data with minimum requirements.
