Abstract

digital world. However, it is often being compromised due to obsolete of data management methods such as traditional data storage using local database, unpatched cloud storage that cannot overcome the latest cybersecurity attacks. Besides, it is also questioned that the current existing EHR data management solutions are mostly not transparent enough and causing interoperability challenges. Hence, the primary challenge addressed in this study is the secure sharing and management of sensitive patient health data among hospitals while ensuring data integrity, access control and auditability. The project utilizes Hyperledger Fabric's blockchain technology to provide a private and tamper-resistant ledger for storing and sharing EHR data. Through a rigorous research process involving system design, smart contract development and network configuration, the prototype establishes a more robust framework for EHR data management. The results demonstrate the potential implementation of a secure and scalable system that enables authorized medical authorities to access and update patient records efficiently, while ensuring data privacy and compliance with healthcare regulations. This project contributes to the advancement of healthcare data management by leveraging blockchain technology to enhance data security, accessibility and transparency among collaborating hospitals.
