  • Abstract:
  • This project introduces an innovative online healthcare document management system designed to streamline insurance claims processing by leveraging blockchain technology. By storing medical transactions on a blockchain, the system ensures enhanced transparency, security, and immutability, effectively mitigating risks associated with data tampering and unauthorized access.A key feature of the system is its integration with wearable health tracking devices, facilitating the collection of accurate and real-time health data. This data can be securely linked to patients' health records, enabling authorized healthcare providers to access pertinent medical information remotely. Such integration not only enhances patient care but also reduces the necessity for in-person consultations, thereby increasing efficiency in healthcare delivery. The application of blockchain in this context offers significant advantages, including decentralized data storage, enhanced patient privacy through encryption and access controls, and the use of smart contracts to automate and validate insurance claims processes. These features collectively contribute to a more secure, transparent, and patient-centric healthcare ecosystem. this project exemplifies the transformative potential of combining blockchain technology with healthcare data management. By addressing critical issues of data security and interoperability, the system paves the way for more efficient and trustworthy healthcare services, with the added benefit of facilitating seamless insurance claim processes. In the current medical insurance claims process, there are problems of low efficiency and complex services. When a patient applies for medical insurance claims, he/she must go to the hospital to apply for a diagnosis certificate and receipt and then send the relevant application documents to the insurance company. The patient will not receive compensation until the company completes the verification with the patient’s hospital. However, we can improve the current dilemma through blockchain technology. Blockchain technology can effectively open up the information channels of the insurance industry and medical institutions, promote industry integration, and enhance the ability of insurance companies to obtain information.
