MediBlock is an online portal that maintains a digital copy of a patient’s medical history , along with all of their diagnosis and prescriptions, and utilizes blockchain technology in the backend.
Our UI interface allows patients to fill in their medical details and this data will be stored on the secure P2P InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) web3 storage platform using APIs and using web3 to interface the p2p network via the Metamask extension(user wallet).
IPFS will then generate unique hash values for each record which will be stored on an Ethereum-based decentralized blockchain network which will be maintained by the Hospitals on the network and would be using the Proof of Authority(PoA) consensus model.
This data can be referenced and retrieved from the Blockchain via smart contracts that are written in Solidity . Using public-private key cryptography, the patient can give health intermediaries access to their personal health record; This is stored as an immutable record/transaction on the blockchain.
The decentralized nature of the technology creates one ecosystem of patient data that can be quickly and efficiently referenced by doctors, hospitals, health intermediaries, and anyone else involved in treatment.
