EXISTING SYSTEMS

Existing healthcare data-sharing systems often rely on traditional identity

management like software certification, but they're vulnerable to security threats,
prompting the need for improvement. Some use symmetric key distribution for
mutual authentication, enhancing security but facing challenges in patient data
maintenance and authentication.

PROPOSED SYSTEM

• The proposed system aims to optimize access to distributed medical records,

reducing communication time between patients and hospitals.

• Patients securely retrieve their medical history from the blockchain, ensuring
data integrity and confidentiality.

• Blockchain technology efficiently manages patient data, It is immutable and

avoids unwanted data manipulation or access.
• The system employs advanced encryption techniques within the blockchain,
ensuring robust security measures to safeguard sensitive medical information.

WHAT IS BLOCKCHAIN ?

6 DEPT OF CSE, KLECET CHIKODI

• Blockchain is a decentralized digital ledger technology where transactions are
recorded across a network of computers in a secure and immutable manner. Each
transaction is grouped into blocks, linked to the previous one, forming a chain.
Consensus mechanisms ensure agreement on transaction validity, creating a tamper-
proof data record suitable for various applications.

• ledger is a record-keeping system that tracks transactions, typically in chronological

order, providing a transparent and auditable history of financial or other data types.

• Consensus is the collective agreement among participants in a network on the

validity of transactions and the ledger’s state.

 WORKFLOW OVERVIEW
1. Admission: On admission hospital tests and diagnose patients and obtain the
results upon admission.

2. Creation: Then the Hospital generates the Patient’s electronic medical records
(EMRs), recording his personal and medical details.

3. Integration: The hospital then seamlessly integrates with Medi-Block, a

blockchain platform, for secure and decentralized record storage and sharing.

4. Encryption: Patient EMRs are encrypted using advanced cryptographic

techniques to safeguard sensitive health data.
8 DEPT OF CSE, KLECET CHIKODI
5. Data Request: As the Patient moves to a different hospital and requires access to
his medical records, Hospital B requests Hospital A for the records.

6. Verification: The hospital A verifies the identity of the requester and grants
access to the encrypted medical records.

7. Transfer: Patient's encrypted medical records are securely transferred between

healthcare facilities via Medi-Block.

8. Discharge: Patient's encrypted medical records remain securely stored in the

blockchain for future reference and follow-up care.

BLOCK CHAIN STRUCTURE

10 DEPT OF CSE, KLECET CHIKODI

ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM
1. RSA
RSA(Rivest, Shamir, and Adleman) is a widely used asymmetric encryption
algorithm that utilizes a pair of keys – a public key for encryption and a
private key for decryption – to secure data transmission and storage.

11 DEPT OF CSE, KLECET CHIKODI

Key Generation: Hospitals generate unique RSA key pairs – one public key for
encryption and a private key for decryption.

Data Encryption: Medical data is encrypted to Cipher text by hospitals using their
Public key, to ensure privacy.

Data Decryption: Medical data is decrypted from cipher text to Plain text by
hospitals using their private key.

Data Access: Authorized entities can securely access their medical records from the
block chain once they are authorized as the patients.

12 DEPT OF CSE, KLECET CHIKODI

 APPLICATIONS

1. Ensured data integrity and privacy in medical research.

2. Efficient management of patient consent for data sharing.

3. Secure sharing of electronic health records among providers.

4. Traceable management of medical supply chains.

5. Patient-controlled health data sharing.

ADVANTAGES
• Security: Ensures data integrity.
• Immutability: recorded data cannot be altered.
• Interoperability: Enhances data sharing.
• Privacy: Safeguards patient confidentiality.

DISADVANTAGES

• Complexity: Requires expertise for integration.

• Dependency: Relies on network availability.
• Energy Consumption: requires a lot of energy and raises concerns about
environment. 14 DEPT OF CSE, KLECET CHIKODI
CONCLUSION
Medi-Block architecture integrates blockchain and cloud storage, offering a
secure platform for medical data sharing. This innovative solution addresses
industry challenges, ensuring cost-effectiveness and data integrity. Leveraging
blockchain's decentralized nature, it ensures secure transmission of sensitive
medical information. With a focus on efficiency and authenticity, Medi-Block
revolutionizes data management in healthcare.
