Blockchain for Secure 3D Model Sharing Among Healthcare Providers Exploring Decentralized Methods to Prevent Unauthorized Access to Medical Models
Arjun Deshraje Urs - · International Journal For Multidisciplinary Research · 2025
Secure dissemination of 3D medical models across healthcare institutions is critical for advancing diagnostic precision, preoperative planning, and therapeutic interventions. Traditional centralized data-sharing frameworks are plagued by vulnerabilities including unauthorized access, poor traceability, and system-wide failures. This paper introduces a decentralized architecture, underpinned by blockchain, smart contracts, and the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS), to address these challenges. The proposed framework ensures data provenance, integrity, and HIPAA compliance while enabling cross-institutional collaboration through secure, transparent, and programmable access control mechanisms.
