Integrating Blockchain Technology into Telemedicine: A Framework for Enhancing Data Privacy and Security
Author(s): Harsha Sammangi*, Aditya Jagatha and Jun Liu
Telemedicine has emerged as a transformative model of healthcare delivery, leveraging digital technologies to offer remote consultations, real-time monitoring, and improved access to medical expertise. However, this shift introduces complex challenges concerning data privacy, security, and compliance with healthcare regula- tions. This paper proposes a comprehensive framework integrating blockchain tech- nology into telemedicine systems to enhance data security, privacy, transparency, and patient autonomy. By conducting a structured literature review and lever- aging a design science research methodology, this study identifies key vulnerabili- ties in telemedicine ecosystems and demonstrates how blockchain’s decentralized, immutable, and programmable features can be harnessed to address them. The proposed framework encompasses components such as decentralized data man- agement, .. Read More»
