“…The author suggested having a smart contract that will give access to information in case of an emergency for a limited period. SHEMB is an Ethereum-based solution that requires a third party in storing data using a symmetrically searchable encryption technique to speed up access to information using the patient’s search query [ 66 ].…”

Blockchain technology was introduced through Bitcoin in a 2008 whitepaper by the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto. Since its inception, it has gathered great attention because of its unique properties—immutability and decentralized authority. This technology is now being implemented in various fields such as healthcare, IoT, data management, etc., apart from cryptocurrencies. As it is a newly emerging technology, researchers and organizations face many challenges in integrating this technology into other fields. Consent management is one of the essential processes in an organization because of the ever-evolving privacy laws, which are introduced to provide more control to users over their data. This paper is a systematic review of Blockchain’s application in the field of consent and privacy data management. The review discusses the adaptation of Blockchain in healthcare, IoT, identity management, and data storage. This analysis is formed on the principles of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) and a process of systematic mapping review. We provide analysis of the development, challenges, and limitations of blockchain technology for consent management.

“…To achieve security in their system, they introduced a new primitive called combined attribute-based/identity-based encryption and signature (C-AB/IB-ES). Another approach is displayed in SHEMB proposed by Andola, N. et al [ 55 ], which uses the Ethereum blockchain to store EHR data and utilizes smart contracts [ 52 , 54 , 61 , 66 , 91 ] to securely give patients control over their data. Searching for patient data is made more secure and efficient with the use of symmetric searchable encryption.…”

Electronic Health Records (EHR) are the healthcare sector’s core digital strategy meant to improve the quality of care provided to patients. Despite the benefits afforded by this digital transformation initiative, adoption among healthcare organizations has been slower than desired. The sheer volume and sensitive nature of patient records compel these organizations to exercise a healthy amount of caution in implementing EHR. Cyberattacks have also increased the risks associated with non-optimal EHR implementations. An influx of high-profile data breaches has plagued the sector during the COVID-19 pandemic, which put the spotlight on EHR cybersecurity. One objective of this research project is to aid the acceleration of EHR adoption. Another objective is to ensure the robustness of the system to resist malicious attacks. For the former, a systematic review was used to unearth all the possible causes why the adoption of EHR has been anemic. In this paper, sixty-five existing proposed EHR solutions were analyzed and it was found that there are fourteen major challenges that need to be addressed to reduce friction and risk for health organizations. These were privacy, security, confidentiality, interoperability, access control, scalability, authentication, accessibility, availability, data storage, data ownership, data validity, data integrity, and ease of use. We propose EHRChain, a new framework that tackles all the listed challenges simultaneously to address the first objective while also being designed to achieve the second objective. It is enabled by dual-blockchains based on Hyperledger Sawtooth to allow patient data decentralization via a consortium blockchain and IPFS for distributed data storage.

“…Using the consortium blockchain, authors in [43] have presented a medical data sharing scheme that achieves effective attribute-based access control [86], [87]. On the other hand, the Ethereum blockchain based solution in [88] has been shown to help in secure storage of EHR data. To offer optimized and intelligent medical data exchange among various entities, a medical-edgeblockchain scheme is developed in [89].…”

The adoption of electronic healthcare in hospital environment can potentially reduce costs and improve the quality of life of the patients. However, numerous security and privacy issues arise when sensitive patient data is shared among multiple devices and users. Owing to its vulnerable nature, electronic health records seem to be more attractive to attackers compared to other forms of records such as financial transactions. Consequently, the patient data collected at the sensors, transmitted across communication channels and residing in hospital servers is susceptible to various threats. The goal of this paper was to carry out a survey of the electronic healthcare environment and attempt to understand the various weaknesses that can be exploited. This is followed by some descriptions of the various preventive mechanisms as well as the noted gaps. Therefore, numerous recommendations are given that are deemed fit for enhanced security and privacy posture in electronic healthcare domain.
