Blockchain-enabled trust-based patient-centric electronic medical record model (TPC-EMR)

Abstract

The transformative potential of telemedicine, secure data interchange, and blockchain technology combined with patient-centric healthcare systems is investigated in this study. We suggest a novel framework with telemedicine features for in-the-moment virtual consultations and a patient portal for scheduling appointments to track medical information and monitor health metrics. One of the main components of this framework is a trust-based feedback system, which creates trust ratings for medical professionals by gathering and evaluating patient feedback. This model seeks to improve healthcare outcomes and service delivery through fostering trust, promoting interoperability, and enhancing patient autonomy. The architecture, the way trust scores are calculated, how they affect patient care and potential future research directions are all assessed in this study.
