Medical data is one of the most sensitive types of data. Secure storage and making full use of personal medical records has always been a concern for the general population. The emergence of blockchain technology brings a new idea to solve this problem. The current way of sharing medical data is mostly done by physically transporting the document or sharing it online via email. These methods are prone to MTM (Man in the Middle) attacks where an unauthorized person might get access to medical records. Also in case if the transportation medium is compromised our data will also be compromised. Our solution is to develop a storage scheme to manage personal medical data based on blockchain and cloud storage. The system can be used by both patients and doctors. The patient can choose which report they want to share with the doctor. The Files would first be used by an OCR (optical Character Recognition ) pass which will extract the important data from the files using keyword filtering .The data will then encrypted using AES which can only be decrypted with a special key which can only be used by the patient or doctor who is authorized by the patient. The system would also have different analytical tools to help the doctor in recognizing different illnesses or take a second opinion. The system will have different endpoints through which they can avail different facilities such as Detection of pneumonia in chest x-rays.
