Electronic Health Records (EHRs) are crucial for effective patient care and informed decision-making. Proving the authenticity of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) is important for ensuring the quality and reliability of patient care and health insurance services. However, conventional EHR storage systems face issues such as data breaches and privacy violations. To address these challenges, the proposed system presents an innovative solution that combines blockchain technology and the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS). Our solution leverages the decentralized and secure data management features of IPFS to improve the security and accessibility of sensitive health information. Moreover, our solution employs solana blockchain technology to ensure that EHRs are securely stored and accessible only to authorized parties, creating a transparent and tamperproof environment. By incorporating solana blockchain technology, our solution enables health insurance providers to validate the authenticity of EHRs without relying on time-consuming and error-prone methods that are vulnerable to manipulation. Thus, our solution enhances the trustworthiness and accountability of the health insurance system. In summary, the proposed system aims to transform EHR management, providing a secure, decentralized, and efficient ecosystem that protects patient privacy while enhancing the overall integrity and accessibility of Electronic Health Records.
