>Magister Scientiae - MSc / With the development of information and network technologies, Electronic Health
Records (EHRs) management system has gained wide spread application in
managing medical records. One of the major challenges of EHRs is the independent
nature of medical institutions. This non-collaborative nature puts a significant
barrier between patients, doctors, medical researchers and medical data. Moreover,
unlike the unique and strong anti-tampering nature of traditional paper-based
records, electronic health records stored in centralization database are vulnerable to
risks from network attacks, forgery and tampering. In view of the data sharing
difficulties and information security problems commonly found in existing EHRs,
this dissertation designs and develops a credible Blockchain-based electronic
health records (CB-EHRs) management system.
