Abstract

Advances in the healthcare sector need to secure efficient and decentralized systems to handle the large number of images and test reports. Traditional cloud-based healthcare systems pose crucial challenges, such as higher maintenance costs, significant storage demand, and, most importantly, privacy concerns. This chapter introduced the comprehensive patient-centric system for decentralized storage, secure medical data sharing, integrating blockchain technology and distributed file systems. The healthcare system leverages the IPFS and Ethereum blockchain to empowering scalable privacy protection of globally available storage of medical metadata. The framework enhances the accessibility and usability of incorporating a mobile offering for the patients, hospitals, and other stakeholders to interact with the decentralized system through the blockchain-integrated mobile application.This chapter provides an innovative approach to addressing the healthcare centralized data management limitations while ensuring patient privacy and data security.
