Abstract

In today's dynamic healthcare environment, protecting patient privacy, securing sensitive data, and maintaining the integrity of medical records are more critical than ever. Traditional healthcare systems typically face issues like data breaches, limited accessibility, and outdated record-keeping practices that compromise patient information. Secure Med introduces a transformative solution by leveraging blockchain technology, a decentralized, tamper-resistant infrastructure that ensures data is secure, transparent, and efficiently managed. Patient records are encrypted and distributed across a secure ledger, accessible only to authorized professionals with explicit patient consent. Smart contracts and encryption protocols provide patients with complete control over their medical data. This system enhances data accuracy, real-time accessibility, and impenetrable security, enabling faster, more accurate diagnoses and improved decision-making, especially during emergencies. Secure Med thus reinforces the resilience of healthcare systems while empowering individuals to manage their personal data, ensuring privacy and autonomy at every stage of care.
