Inspiration
There has been a recent increase in the theft and manipulation of medical details leading to an intensification of payment enforcement activity, with medical record audits, repayment claims, and even criminal charges and penalties. This has left many patients bankrupt and bereft of their money.
What it does
Our project stores the patient medical data in a secure way so that no can manipulate it and insurers can not surcharge or perform any fraudulent activities.
How we built it
We used block chain technology to store the patient medical history. This ensures that it cannot be manipulated as only patients have the power to schedule an appointment which gets stored in the blockchain along with the amount billed and the diagnoses of the patient. The insurer only has viewing right.
Challenges we ran into
Connecting our backend with our front end using nodejs, since we were not familiar with this technology
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Creating our own blockchain structure to hold patient records and prevent any manipulations
What we learned
We got to learn a great deal about blockchain technology, javascript and webdev.
What's next for Safe patient record holder
We want to extend the functionalities of the frontend and focus on coming up with new ways to secure the blockchain structure while using lesser computation time.
