Accurate and complete medical data are one valuable asset for patients. Privacy protection and the secure storage of medical data are crucial issues during medical services. 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. As a hash chain with the characteristics of decentralization, verifiability and immutability, blockchain technology can be used to securely store personal medical data. In this paper, we design a storage scheme to manage personal medical data based on blockchain and cloud storage. Furthermore, a service framework for sharing medical records is described. In addition, the characteristics of the medical blockchain are presented and analyzed through a comparison with traditional systems. The proposed storage and sharing scheme does not depend on any third-party and no single party has absolute power to affect the processing.
准确完整的医疗数据是患者的宝贵资产之一。在医疗服务过程中，隐私保护和医疗数据的安全存储是至关重要的问题。安全存储和充分利用个人医疗记录一直是公众关注的焦点。区块链技术的出现为解决这个问题带来了新的思路。区块链作为一种具有去中心化、可验证性和不可篡改性的哈希链，可以用于安全地存储个人医疗数据。在本文中，我们设计了一种基于区块链和云存储的个人医疗数据管理存储方案，并描述了一种用于共享医疗记录的服务框架。此外，还通过与传统系统的比较分析了医疗区块链的特点。所提出的存储和共享方案不依赖于任何第三方，也没有任何单一方拥有绝对权力来影响处理过程。
