Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a wide spread dire situation, with a lot of uncertainties in how each person is affected and the after-effects of the virus, especially for people with underlying health issues. In such times, it is vital for healthcare providers to understand the patient’s entire health history in order to take crucial decisions in terms of treatment or diagnosis, but this is currently challenging due to the massive amount of time required to receive them, or the chances of the data being faulty, or the incompatibility of the records’ formats among the organizations, all leading to severe risks in misdiagnosis/wrong treatment of the patients thus increasing medical errors and deaths. Fortunately, there is a potential solution that can overcome all these challenges and yet ensure complete privacy and security - Blockchain technology. Ever since its emergence, it has shown tremendous potential as a viable alternative across multiple domains such as Finance, IoT, Supply Chain etc. While every industry is equally important, the healthcare industry stands out as one of the most essential. This paper aims to explore and understand the diverse solutions recommended to solve the foremost data challenges faced by the healthcare domain and realize the benefits of deploying blockchain specifically for handling patient and medical data.
