Improving the Use of Blockchain Technology in Stroke Care Information Management Systems

Blockchain is a new and popular technology in the digital age. Blockchain technology is referred to as decentralised and distributed digital ledgers, which are called blocks. These blocks are linked together with the cryptographic hashes and are used to record transactions between many computers. No single block can be altered without altering the related blocks. Modification of individual block data is impossible because each block contains information from the previous block. This is the unique strength of blockchain. Timestamps and hashes are some of the important terms when blockchains are considered. Data security is guaranteed with this advanced technology. Blockchain technology finds its application in the healthcare industry with many advantages in a queue. Medical data can be transferred safely and securely for fool-proof management of the medicine supply chain, which helps in healthcare research. Blockchains are used to securely encrypt a patient's information in the event of an outbreak of a pandemic disease. A stroke is referred to as a brain attack, also called cerebral infarction. A cerebral infarction is a sudden stoppage of blood flow in the blood vessels connected to the brain. This study focused on evaluating the application of blockchain technology in Stroke Nursing Information Management Systems. This emerging technology is already in use in the healthcare industry. The patient's data is kept decentralized, transparent, and mainly incorruptible, thus keeping it secured and sharing of data is quick.
