Methods of medical data management based on blockchain technologies

The healthcare sector in Ukraine has long been in need of change, and many opportunities of blockchain technology can help it lead the transformation of this sector and ensure compliance with the requirements of the efficiency, safety, novelty, and economic benefits. State-of-the-art on known decisions on the use of blockchain technologies in the information technology for medical data management showed that, despite a large number of different solutions, effective methods and solutions for medical data management based on blockchain technologies are currently lacking. Therefore, improving the efficiency of medical data management by developing methods of medical data management based on blockchain technologies is currently an urgent problem. The paper developed a method for assessing the sufficiency of medical data, which provides: the ability to analyze a variety of medical data for their sufficiency; the ability to quantify the sufficiency of medical data; in case of insufficiency of the medical data, formation of recommendations on supplementing the medical data to be able to upload them to the "Block Data" section of the blockchain block. The paper developed a method of performing transactions on medical data, which consists of the stages of entering information into the blockchain and obtaining information from the blockchain. The developed method of performing transactions on medical data provides the ability to decide on the addition of transactions and medical data from the patient to the blockchain; the ability to decide on the issuance of data from the blockchain on request from a doctor. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
