To review existing digital healthcare blockchain platforms and develop an innovative permissioned blockchain system that addresses secure data access, integrity, and cross-institutional sharing.
Conducted a comprehensive survey and comparative analysis of prominent blockchain platforms utilized across digital healthcare sectors.
Designed and deployed the Innovative permissioned Blockchain for eHealth (IBEH) using the MultiChain platform, decoupled architectural layers, REST APIs, RPC calls, and permissioned smart contracts.
Decoupling the application and blockchain layers enabled flexible deployment, secure access control, data traceability, and seamless exchange of sensitive health information across institutions.
Performance and feature evaluations confirmed the feasibility of the permissioned smart contract framework in managing health data operations.
