Abstract
Medical healthcare currently plays a vital role for humans in society. For each patient, personal health records are critical and sensitive assets, so how to manage them effectively is becoming exciting research to solve. Many types of research in managing and operating personal health records have been introduced; however, dealing with patients’ data in emergency cases remains an uncertain issue. When emergencies happen in reality, using a traditional access system is challenging for patients to consent medical staff, i.e., nurses or doctors, to access their data. Besides, there is no secured record management of patient’ data, which reveals highly confidential personal information, such as what happened, when, and who has access to such information. Thus, this paper proposes a control and management system regarding emergency access to protect the patients’ data called the Patient-Chain platform: a patient-centred healthcare system, a Blockchain-based technology in dealing with emergencies. The Patient-Chain system is built based on permitted Blockchain Hyperledger Fabric, defines several rules and regulations by using smart contracts and time duration to deal with emergencies. The patients also restrict the time to access the data in such urgent cases-several algorithms representing how the system works are also provided to make readers understand the proposed management system.
