Blockchain-Based System for Security and Privacy of Students' Health Records

Nowadays and after the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, companies, institutions, schools, and universities were obliged to switch to remote mode. In this context, digitalization has played a crucial role in keeping the activities continuity and the business running. Consequently, the need for data storage spaces and data security has grown exponentially. As a solution, Blockchain technology has been widely implemented and proven its efficiency in different application fields. In this paper, we propose to design a blockchain architecture along with a smart contract in order to secure students' medical data. The use of blockchain technology in the educational field may potentially prevent the falsification or unauthorized access to critical medical students' records. We then project the proposed approach to the use case of university campuses and boarding schools.
