摘要

Blockchain can secure and verify electronic health records (EHRs) for multi-institution healthcare systems, but Layer-1 storage costs and throughput limitations make full on-chain EHR storage impractical. A new model is proposed named FZRP (Federated-ZK-Rollup Pipeline). It is a hybrid methodology combining Federated Learning (FL), off-chain storage (IPFS), zk-rollup batching with adaptive batch sizing, and parallel proof pipelines to minimize per-record transaction cost while preserving auditability and privacy. Using a synthetic dataset of 50,000 EHRs, it quantifies cost reductions under realistic assumptions and demonstrate orders-of-magnitude per-record savings. A formal cost model, latency and security analyses, and sensitivity studies are provided. The experimental evaluation demonstrates that adaptive batching significantly reduces per-record transaction cost under conservative Layer-1 cost assumptions to as low as $0.000024, achieving over 99.999% cost reduction while maintaining scalability and privacy. The limitations, regulatory considerations, and paths for future work are discussed.
