A Novel IoT-Blockchain Methodology to Augment Conviction in Electronic Health Records Management

There is an absolute necessity for healthcare providers, including hospitals and primary care physicians, to keep patient data secure inside their existing healthcare systems. These systems incorporate electronic health records (EHRs), which store detailed medical histories including diagnoses, treatments, and diagnostic tests as well as demographic information like gender, weight, age, and insurance coverage. Sharing this sensitive medical data securely while avoiding unauthorized access and potential breaches is the biggest challenge. One possible solution to this problem is the use of the cryptographic hashing algorithm SHA256 in conjunction with the IoT. By making it difficult for enemies to understand hashed information, SHA256 strengthens data security. To top it all off, SHA256 works well with verified keys, so you can quickly compare created passwords to existing ones to be sure they're legitimate. Better performance metrics are shown by proposed procedures that use SHA256 compared to existing techniques. The average block creation time, total execution time, and blockchain memory capacity are all significantly lower with these new approaches than with their predecessors, which bodes well for healthcare system efficiency and scalability. Essentially, healthcare systems implementing SHA256 represent a significant step toward improving data security and protecting patient information, leading to aAmore trustworthy healthcare system overall.
