Abstract
Medical data plays an important role in government regulation of resources, scientific research and precise treatment of medical staffs. Due to the different data management systems used by each hospital, it is difficult to exchange data among them, resulting in a waste of medical resources. In this paper, a medical data management model based on the blockchain is proposed, which takes advantage of the characteristics of the blockchain, such as decentralisation, tamper-proofing and realizability. A data-sharing reward mechanism was designed to maximise the benefits of both a medical data producer (MDP) and a medical data Miner (MDM) in the process of data sharing, while reducing the risk of leakage of a patient’s private information. Finally, a reward mechanism was analysed through experiments, which proved the validity and reliability of the medical data management model based on blockchain.
