Abstract

Electronic health information is an efficient technique for providing health care services to society. Patient health information is stored in the cloud, to allow access of eHealth information from anywhere, and at any time, but the technical problems are security, privacy, etc. Sharing the medical data in a trustless environment is overcome by the proposed framework SeFra. The proposed work provides a secure framework to manage the eHealth record by using blockchain (SeFra). For authentication purposes, a temporal shadow is used and the integrity of health records is ensured by blockchain technology.
