How Patients can Control their Health Records using Blockchain?
Problems Encountered by Patients
Patients do not have control over their health records. Doctors are not getting records shared between doctors in a timely manner. Family members cannot access records to share when family members are in vital situations. There is no snapshot of patient information to be shared with EMT’s.
Patients that go from doctor to doctor must depend on different technologies to precisely record and transfer their information in order to get proper aid. Also, the information is not readily available. Therefore, people are at the mercy of their own backup systems to store their health information. Without a properly secure and backed up system, it is impossible to protect and guarantee that the records are complete, accurate and secure throughout the years. Furthermore, each patient is responsible for grouping their records, keeping them safe, and passing them from the doctor’s office to doctor’s office.

disclose whatever information is needed to save their lives.
Patients can link their children’s, parents’, and friends medical records in order to have the most accurate care. Of course, this brings up privacy. It is essential to note that each patient determines what to do with his or her information. Only the user has authority to disclose his or her information. This means that a patient can choose to unlink himself or herself from a parent, child, friend, caregiver, etc.. Nevertheless, a patient can still write his or her potential illnesses in order to get the best care and treatment possible. Consequently, most doctors’ visits end up with a patient plan that a patient must follow in order to get healthier. This blockchain application will
give patients the ability to follow and/or track their treatment plan, so the doctor can see whether such treatment plan worked or not.
