/ 1 min read

🩺✨ New framework proposed for secure electronic health data access using Self-Sovereign Identity. A novel open-source health data management framework has been introduced, emphasizing a patient-centric approach to secure electronic health data access. This framework integrates Self-Sovereign Identity principles with technologies like Decentralized Identifiers and Verifiable Credentials, leveraging Blockchain for data immutability and auditability. It addresses critical use cases, including patient-practitioner interactions, data loss prevention, and emergency access scenarios. A proof of concept demonstrates the interaction between patients and doctors, validating the design and selected technologies. Key innovations include a comprehensive recovery plan, backup procedures, and a focus on patient control over data storage.
