Abstract

The traditional medical record system is stored in the hospital side, which is not convenient for data sharing and transmission between hospitals; Patients can see the medical records data, therefore it is challenging to maintain patient privacy. Based on this, a disaster-tolerant Alliance blockchain is used to construct a distributed electronic medical record system that includes a peer-to-peer (P2P) network with mutually lengthy links and improved Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance (I-PBFT). The system encourages medical data exchange and sharing, makes the flow of medical data transparent to patients, and transfers ownership of medical records back to patients, turning medical data into a valuable data asset for patients.
