The healthcare industry is on the brink of a revolutionary transformation with the advent of blockchain technology. This paper explores the innovation of decentralized health records (SmartMedChain) utilizing blockchain to ensure secure, transparent, and patient-controlled medical data. By leveraging blockchain’s immutable and decentralized nature, this innovation addresses critical issues such as data privacy, interoperability, and accuracy. The result is a patient-centric health record system that enhances healthcare delivery, fosters trust, and improves patient outcomes. This innovation not only empowers patients with control over their health information but also streamlines operations for healthcare providers, paving the way for a more efficient and effective healthcare system.
