The Telehealth chain: a framework for secure and transparent telemedicine transactions on the blockchain.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Blockchain technology provides a secure and decentralized platform for storing and transferring sensitive medical data, which can be utilized to enable remote medical consultations. AIM: A theoretical framework for creating a blockchain-based digital system created to facilitate telemedicine system. RESULTS: This paper proposes a theoretical framework based on Hyperledger fabric for creating a blockchain-based digital entity to facilitate telemedicine services. The proposed framework utilizes blockchain technology to provide a secure and reliable platform for medical practitioners to interact remotely with patient transactions. CONCLUSION: The blockchain will serve as a one-stop digital service to secure patient data, ensure privacy, and facilitate payments. The proposed framework leverages the existing Hyperledger fabric platform to build a secure blockchain-assisted telemedicine platform.
