Abstract

Healthcare, being a vital and rapidly evolving field, necessitates robust systems for managing medical records and ensuring data security. The article proposes a blockchain based healthcare management system that addresses critical challenge of secure medical data sharing. The system incorporates zero trust principles and blockchain technology to verify compliance with patient records and facilitate secure data exchange among research institutions, patients, and servers. The proposed distributed zero trust based blockchain structure (DZTBS) effectively meets the privacy and security requirements of availability, integrity, and confidentiality. Notably, compared to traditional systems, DZTBS achieves a remarkable reduction of approximately 20% in both total execution and block-generation time. Furthermore, our system outperforms existing encryption algorithms, including the advanced encryption standard and elliptic curve digital signature algorithm with a mean encryption time of 0.001053 seconds and a decryption time of 0.00365 seconds. These results show improved security and efficiency offered by proposed healthcare management system.
