Electronic health record authentication and authorization using Blockchain and QR codes
Dragoş Dobre, Andrei Vasilăţeanu · Procedia Computer Science · 2024
One of the most important, from the privacy point of view, interactions of patients with the healthcare system is giving access to medical information. This paper presents a proof-of-concept for a system that allows selectively sharing medical information from electronic health records using Blockchain technologies and QR codes. This is aligned to current medical paradigms that put the patient in the center of the healthcare process and pass the control of the medical data from doctors to patients. Such decentralized systems are very good candidates for Blockchain-based implementation.
