Blockchain-based mental health solution system
Abstract
In recent years blockchain technology has evolved from finance to industrial usage,
wellness to health, commerce to service sector. The convergence of blockchain
technology and e-mental healthcare presents an evolutionary system which provides
solutions to the challenges of the healthcare system. This report expresses how
blockchain revolutionizes the accessibility, security, anonymity of patient data and
quality of mental healthcare services. We build a system using Hyperledger Fabric
blockchain that fulfill the gap of mental system which lack the tool to verify the
credentials of medical professionals, identify the varified patients and access control
one’s medical data. In the system decentralised cloud system IPFS has been integrated
for secure data sharing, storing patients’ encrypted data and the hash value
is stored in the blockchain. The system also offers users teletherapy treatment and
access control over their data. To maintain quality treatment we also implement
a review feature. By this project we are able to transform the mental healthcare
service with more advancement. This is not just a mental healthcare project, by
this project we can also understand how to develop other healthcare sectors.
