Blockchain in Healthcare

Inspiration

There's often news of data being hacked or lost, bank or healthcare or otherwise. The theme concerned healthcare, so we decided to do something related to the theme.

What it does

The program allows one to add data to a user, delete a user, access a user's data, and to change a user's data. The data is protected by a thick layer of encryption.

How we built it

We made a encryption and decryption method and maintained a dictionary of data, plus a main program.

Challenges we ran into

It was a bit hard to learn how to encrypt strings into lists of integers, but we managed to pull it off :)

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We implemented various encryption methods few people know. We also made it so that the average person wouldn't be able to decode the data.

What we learned

We learned a lot about encryption. We discovered the gmpy library built an encryption program over it.

What's next for Blockchain in Healthcare

We lack a web page or interface. That's the main downside of our project. We could put everything in a large database and make a real working app that could benefit the wide public.
