Managing Health records with blockchain
The problem Health Records solves
Using polygon we have shifted the centralized database of any hospital/heath organization onto a decentralized platform where the patient's health records will be safe i.e
If any hospital makes a change in any patient's electronic health record it will be recorded by the blockchain. We take look at a specific scenario where a person patient of hospital “A” is met with an accident and is taken to hospital “B” for emergency treatment, hospital “B” would require the health record of the patient, if we were to take this scenario in a normal centralized database it would require the actual file transfer from the database of “A” to “B” which takes time but in the case of blockchain we only need to change the ownership/view permission of the health record saving precious moments.
Challenges we ran into
The data which was stored on the blockchain, upon retrieval was coming multiple times hence upon the dynamic rendering of components such as the information cards we could see redundant components in the UI.
