- Abstract
The healthcare industry faces significant challenges in patient identification and data interoperability due to the use of different electronic medical records (EMRs) and variations in patient information storage. Blockchain technology, a decentralized database that uses cryptography protocols for security and persistency, offers a potential solution to these issues. This research proposes the use of Ethereum smart contracts, a decentralized blockchain solution, to build integrated patient profiles and address interoperability issues in healthcare. The proposed system aims to improve patient data privacy and security, as well as provide a more efficient way of accessing and sharing patient information across different healthcare providers. Through a combination of literature review and case studies, this research demonstrates the feasibility and potential benefits of using blockchain technology for decentralized patient profile building in healthcare. The results of this study have the potential to enhance patient care and improve the overall efficiency of the healthcare system.
