Public Healthcare issues have been the main focus of any governing body for the last decade. Each day a large amount of Healthcare data is generated by individual and Medical Organizations. This information is considered highly sensitive and private, which needed to be securely stored and protected against unauthorized access. In a traditional system, all the data is stored in a centralized system which comes with lots of drawbacks. This where blockchain technology comes in because of its Peer-To-Peer nature and Security. Several studies highlight the importance of blockchain and how it can be implemented in Electronic Medical Record(EMR) systems which face problems regarding privacy,security,decentralization and confidentiality.In this paper, We explain how blockchain technology may be utilised to improve EMR systems and how it could be a solution to these problems. We offer a framework for implementing blockchain technology in the healthcare industry for EMR.The aim of our proposed framework is first to implement blockchain technology for EHR and secondly to provide secure storage of electronic records by defining granular access rules for the users of the proposed framework. Moreover,this framework provides the EHR system with the benefits of a blockchain-based solution that is scalable, secure, and integrated.

Blockchain technology has come up with solutions for the issues faced in the current healthcare system. Stakeholders and researchers can share electronic health records to find the solution to diseases. This not only improves the health sector, but it also provides information about other diseases. To maintain the security and privacy of the patient, a healthcare data gateway storage platform was created based on the blockchain technique. To overcome the problem, this article proposes a dengue diagnosis method based on nucleotides in the gene sequence, it needs only skin cells, hair, or a nail which can be collected easily from the patients. The proposed method not only diagnoses dengue, but also classifies serotypes using wavelet coefficients of EIIP indicator sequences.

The privacy of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) is facing a major hurdle with outsourcing private health data in the cloud as there exists danger of leaking health information to unauthorized parties. In fact, EHRs are stored on centralized databases that increases the security risk footprint and requires trust in a single authority which cannot effectively protect data from internal attacks. This research focuses on ensuring the patient privacy and data security while sharing the sensitive data across same or different organisations as well as healthcare providers in a distributed environment. This research develops a privacy-preserving framework viz Healthchain based on Blockchain technology that maintains security, privacy, scalability and integrity of the e-health data. The Blockchain is built on Hyperledger fabric, a permissioned distributed ledger solutions by using Hyperledger composer and stores EHRs by utilizing InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) to build this healthchain framework. Moreover, the data stored in the IPFS is encrypted by using a unique cryptographic public key encryption algorithm to create a robust blockchain solution for electronic health data. The objective of the research is to provide a foundation for developing security solutions against cyber-attacks by exploiting the inherent features of the blockchain, and thus contribute to the robustness of healthcare information sharing environments. Through the results, the proposed model shows that the healthcare records are not traceable to unauthorized access as the model stores only the encrypted hash of the records that proves effectiveness in terms of data security, enhanced data privacy, improved data scalability, interoperability and data integrity while sharing and accessing medical records among stakeholders across the healthchain network.

Risk Management Process

As healthcare adopts electronic methods of storing patient health records, cloud technology allows mining and analyzing this data and accessing the general public health information. Patient’s privacy and security of personal information is crucial when considering using electronic health records in the healthcare industry (E-Healthcare). The need of the hour is to be able to store and recover patient’s data efficiently. However, moving patient’s medical information to the Cloud involves major security risks and destructs robust data privacy of health records. The threat of data breaches and the need to manage huge amounts of data are issues that have affected the healthcare industry for years. The privacy issues and threats faced by E-healthcare systems include network attacks and threats to hosts and unsanctioned access to EHR records. The major EHR system functions such as appointment scheduling, dietary planning, admission and discharge, transfer radiology/lab orders and prescription order entry are vulnerable to security threats. Security issues need to be assessed thoroughly in order for hospitals and other such medical institutions to shift to electronic standards of maintaining patient's data. Before moving to a cloud-based architecture, health organizations should perform a risk assessment. This will help to identify the security measures required to mitigate these risks. This approach provides a valid assessment of the security risk management procedure approved by field experts. It not only identifies threats to E-healthcare but also allows for a structured flow in risk management. The risk management process is documented and reported in an efficient and easy way for concerned stakeholders of the E-healthcare to understand. It will compare existing solutions on how to protect the confidentiality of patient information. Some of these methods include implementation of a Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) model, digital encryption and signature for cloud security and EHR service continuity management. Moreover, it will consider security matters that CSP’s should look into while storing patient’s record. Ultimately, it will come up with the most suitable solution to make E-Healthcare systems more secure. In this paper, the focus will be on identifying security encounters that E-health systems face by discussing means in which these systems are susceptible to attacks.

Blockchain and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies are used in many domains, predominantly for electronic-healthcare. Here, IoT devices has the ability to provide real-time sensor data from patients to get processed and analyzed. As a single point of failure, mistrust, data manipulation and tampering, and privacy avoidance may all occur as a result of such a method. Through offering shared computing and storage for IoT data, blockchain can help solve such issues.Maintaining and sharing Medical data is necessary here.If there occurs loss of confidence means it threatens the medical data and loss of integrity creates impact on the life of patient. So, the first objective is to protect the medical records. Also, a central server to the records will pretend the hackers to attack and continuous fetching is difficult.Therefore, combining Blockchain and IoT will be a threat breaker for computerized medical records.
