Trusty Record - Decentralized Medical Record Management System using Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

Increasing demand for secure, accessible, and patient-controlled healthcare data systems has exposed the limitations of traditional centralized electronic health record (EHR) platforms. These systems often suffer from data breaches, limited interoperability, and a lack of transparency, leaving patients with minimal control over their personal medical information. This paper presents TrustyRecord, a decentralized medical record management system that leverages blockchain technology and artificial intelligence (AI) to overcome these challenges. Ethereum-based smart contracts are used to manage access control, ensuring transparency and immutability, while InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) enables tamper-proof, distributed storage of sensitive medical data. Additionally, a machine learning model trained on real-world clinical data performs predictive analysis, providing patients with early warnings of heart risk based on extracted health indicators. The system integrates Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology to process unstructured medical files and convert them into structured data for analysis. TrustyRecord offers a secure, scalable, and intelligent approach to health data management, enhancing both patient empowerment and proactive healthcare delivery.
