Usage of Permissioned Blockchain Architecture for Big Data in Electronic Medical Records

Abstract: With the advent of blockchain technology, multiple research avenues and platforms for dialogue have opened up. However technology transfer to the pubic has not been implemented, such that regular public can access and make use of secure and decentralized software. Most blockchain solutions till date deal with financial applications or monetary transactions, which may not be helpful or be accessible to the general public, especially the lower levels of the financial society. Medi-Chain is a people-first medical blockchain with a usable desktop application and interface which makes use of cutting-edge blockchain technology along with BFT consensus protocols to ensure highly secure and private medical data records. This paper aims to bring about a change in how blockchains-as-a-service is perceived and how adoption of new technology is largely based on usability and ease of adoption.
