Abstract - Today’s world includes heaps of healthcare data

platform to exchange healthcare data in a safe and secure manner.

being generated every minute. It is impossible to know whether our data is safe on a centralized system. This is where blockchain comes into the picture. A Decentralized app to store all our healthcare data. It is safe, tamper-resistant, and most importantly, it is easily accessible to everyone. Healthix is going to make storing data easier in a user-friendly environment. Fragmented data across various systems will come together, finally bridging the gap between different hospitals. This unified system has the benefit of using the latest technology to deliver the best possible system. Key Words: health, healthcare, hospitals, doctors, patients, healthcare data, blockchain, decentralized, healthcare application, healthcare system, medical records.

It is also important to have security standards as healthcare data is sensitive. Which is why I have made the application as user-friendly as possible to make sure that these standards are upheld.

The main aim of the project is to develop an application that will address all the concerns that are pertaining to the fragmented distribution of healthcare information. This will help hospitals have better control over their health information. It will also help in sharing the data among various healthcare professionals. Due to the immutable nature of decentralized systems, it will also promote data security and assist with data protection. Some of the main objectives are:

3. LITERATURE REVIEW The initial evaluation of the literature [1] emphasizes a systematic mapping study procedure and uses the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) criteria. The blockchain healthcare literature does not address standardization, despite the fact that this method offers an organized analysis. Subsequent research

Hospitals: Hospitals will have better access to their healthcare information along with better efficiency of handling sensitive information. This will provide a

Impact Factor value: 8.226

Patients: This platform aims to provide patients with access to view their medical history and current treatments. It will also include important information such as allergies to ensure proper diagnosis.

I propose to introduce a friendly user interface for patients to view their medical data at any time. Patients can scan through their entire medical history and any ongoing treatments if applicable. This information is shared with other healthcare providers as and when necessary. I have also included a few encryption mechanisms such as URL encoding to make sure that the data does not fall into the wrong hands.

1.1 Aim

The solution I would like to introduce involves decentralized data storage which makes use of distributed ledger technologies. This will help in storing the patient's data securely. I have chosen this technology to make sure that no unauthorized personnel will be able to have access to the data, which furthermore promotes data integrity to have a tamper-proof record of the healthcare information.

Healthcare systems that are currently used by hospitals are all different and mostly centralized. This leads to the fragmentation of data which may scatter a patient’s data across different hospitals and clinics. The need for a unified system is paramount in such cases. With the use of a decentralized system, it is possible for us to create a tamperresistant ledger of the data, mainly using blockchain. When patients switch doctors, it is impossible for them to keep track of all their past diagnoses. This makes it difficult for the doctors to provide the appropriate treatment. Healthix is going to help bridge the gap for patients making it easier for them to view their health-related data.

Doctors: When doctors have access to the patients' information in real-time, it gets easier for them to make the correct diagnosis. It helps to reduce their burden or order tests for something just to be sure of the treatment.
