E-biomedical: a positive prospect to monitor human healthcare system using blockchain technology

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this research is to eliminate the problems like modification of data related to patient without patient’s consent, management of patient's profile and any type of miscommunication between the specialist.

Design/methodology/approach

A novel approach is designed to overcome the problem of disease overlapping. To this end, Blockchain technology is utilized due to its numerous benefits.

Findings

The simulation of the model is done in R-studio, and the results are determined for the difficulty level in terms of time taken to create specific block. The outcome showed the effectiveness of the proposed Blockchain technology.

Originality/value

The approach discussed in this article is a novel approach that shows the effectiveness of Blockchain technology with modification of patients’ data without his/her will, management of patient profile with latest data, and elimination of any type of miscommunication between the specialists.
