Problem Statement:

Traditional medical record keeping systems are centralized and often fragmented across different healthcare providers, making it challenging for patients to access and share their medical history. This lack of accessibility can lead to delays in treatment, duplicate testing, and medical errors. Additionally, centralized systems are vulnerable to cyber-attacks and data breaches, compromising patient privacy and the security of their sensitive medical information.

Therefore, there is a need for a decentralized platform that allows patients to store and manage their medical history securely, while providing healthcare providers with easy access to accurate and up-to-date information. This platform should be designed with privacy and security in mind and should be easily accessible from any device or location. It should also allow for seamless sharing of medical information between healthcare providers, improving coordination and collaboration among the different stakeholders involved in patient care.

Methodology:

The platform is built on top of the Ethereum blockchain, which allows for the creation of decentralized applications using smart contracts. Smart contracts are self-executing agreements that are programmed to execute automatically when certain conditions are met. In the case of CareChains, the smart contracts are used to manage access to medical records and ensure that only authorized parties can view and update them. This ensures that the records are available to authorized parties at all times and can be accessed from anywhere in the world. The app is deployed on the google cloud platform : link
