In this paper, we propose a blockchain patient electronic health record system called Etmean (اِطْمَئِن) to handle medical records sharing and transfer in healthcare centers. Our main goals are to help ease the challenges faced in the healthcare sector: multiple records for one patient, difficulty prioritizing emergency rooms (ER) cases, and lack of medical records security. Blockchain is a promising, trusted technology that has a digital ledger of transactions supported by a network of computers in a form that makes it hard to hack or modify. Our implemented system fulfills privacy, security, and accessibility requirements in a healthcare sector such as hospitals and clinics.
