In the healthcare sector, accessibility. integrity, and privacy of patients' data is a primary concern. Traditionally, patients' medical history and records were saved on servers that are susceptible to cyber attacks and connectivity issues. In this study, a system that promotes interoperability and data interchange between healthcare providers whilst ensuring data confidentiality and privacy of patients' medical information is presented. This paper introduces an Electronic Healthcare Record (EHR) system using Blockchain structure that is connected using SigFox long-range wireless technology eliminating the need for third-party systems. Healthcare personnel can obtain, share, and edit patients' medical history across long distances while ensuring data integrity. The proposed system can be accessed via personal computers and mobile devices, hence, improving the system's reliability and performance.
