“…Patient control over data, combined with the blockchain's immutable structure, makes data sharing more transparent. Al Omar et al [47] explain that immutability makes the process more accountable. In fact, Ekblaw et al's MedRec goes beyond the blockchain's structure and improves accountability and transparency by storing the access history in an always-available summary [46].…”

Dwarna: a blockchain solution for dynamic consent in biobanking

Dynamic consent aims to empower research partners and facilitate active participation in the research process. Used within the context of biobanking, it gives individuals access to information and control to determine how and where their biospecimens and data should be used. We present Dwarna-a web portal for 'dynamic consent' that acts as a hub connecting the different stakeholders of the Malta Biobank: biobank managers, researchers, research partners, and the general public. The portal stores research partners' consent in a blockchain to create an immutable audit trail of research partners' consent changes. Dwarna's structure also presents a solution to the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation's right to erasure-a right that is seemingly incompatible with the blockchain model. Dwarna's transparent structure increases trustworthiness in the biobanking process by giving research partners more control over which research studies they participate in, by facilitating the withdrawal of consent and by making it possible to request that the biospecimen and associated data are destroyed.

Blockchain is so far well-known for its potential applications in financial and banking sectors. However, blockchain as a decentralized and distributed technology can be utilized as a powerful tool for immense daily life applications. Healthcare is one of the prominent applications area among others where blockchain is supposed to make a strong impact. It is generating wide range of opportunities and possibilities in current healthcare systems. Therefore, this paper is all about exploring the potential applications of blockchain technology in current healthcare systems and highlights the most important requirements to fulfill the need of such systems such as trustless and transparent healthcare systems. In addition, this work also presents the challenges and obstacles needed to resolve before the successful adoption of blockchain technology in healthcare systems. Furthermore, we introduce the smart contract for blockchain based healthcare systems which is key for defining the pre-defined agreements among various involved stakeholders.
