Architecting DApp for EMRs


Let's design the architect of the DApp for enabling healthcare applications to share data with each other. Basically, users with different healthcare apps can share EMRs with each other. 

The ecosystem of this app will consist of healthcare service providers (such as hospitals, labs, and insurance companies), patients, app providers (the companies that will build healthcare apps integrated with this blockchain network), and a network authority or administrator (the health authority and/or solution provider).

The following diagram shows the high-level architecture:

 

This is how the preceding architecture works:

  • The administrator of the network decides who can join the network and connect to the Cloud server.  
  • The blockchain will hold the service providers and patients' identities and permissions, whereas the centralized and distributed server will store the encrypted EMRs. Every user and service provider will have their own Ethereum keys to identify themselves. There...
