Abstract
With the advancement of technology, security of data needs to be coped up in the field of Healthcare. Blockchain technology ensures trust, immutability and accountability which has a huge impact in the managing of patient data. Since data needs to be secured and privacy concerns arise, Self-Sovereign Identity management is employed to hand over the data to its respective individual and let them manage their data. This paper focuses on various works carried out in the field of healthcare using blockchain technology and points out the motivation for securing patient data with blockchain, smart contracts being the principal base in the cost analysis of Ganache and Ropstein network. It then presents future scope in integrating and making Electronic Health Records along with the application decentralized using a peer to peer network such as IPFS.
