Description: Blockchain technology is becoming increasingly important for improving the security of private information, especially in industries like healthcare. It offers several key features such as confidentiality, decentralization, security, and privacy—that help overcome some of the common challenges faced by traditional healthcare systems. These challenges include issues like phishing attacks, denial of service (DoS) attacks, and identity theft. These security threats can compromise sensitive patient data, leading to serious consequences. In response to these concerns, our project introduces a security solution designed specifically for healthcare applications. The solution uses several advanced technologies to address.A blockchain-based electronic health record (EHR) system has been proposed to manage patient data and maintain computerized records across different healthcare institutions. The main objective of this system is to provide immediate access to patient health information while addressing concerns about privacy and security. It is developed on the Ethereum network using programming languages, tools, and technologies such as Ganache, Solidity, and web3.js. The system uses smart contracts to provide security and privacy, and transactions are verified and propagated to the entire decentralized network. The system includes a cryptocurrency wallet (MetaMask) with a centralized privacy system that allows authorized parties to access and secure records quickly. The proposed system aims to achieve several objectives such as allowing users to receive the same data simultaneously, increasing efficiency, building trust, and reducing barriers. It secures data storage by restricting user access and enables the secure transfer of patient medical records. The solution allows for better transparency and ownership of sensitive data, which can be recorded and safeguarded via blockchain technology, therefore assisting the healthcare sector. This paper describes a medical record system and a new protocol that can be used ...
