MediBuddy: A Groundbreaking Approach to Patient-Centric Healthcare Through Decentralized Electronic Health Records and AI
摘要
Traditional centralized electronic health record (EHR) systems often limit patient control over their own data, raise security vulnerabilities, and hinder seamless information sharing between healthcare providers. This research presents MediBuddy, an innovative decentralized EHR system powered by blockchain technology, interoperable communication protocols, and artificial intelligence (AI). The platform aims to revolutionize healthcare data management by empowering patients with greater control over their records, enhancing security, promoting data accessibility, and enabling seamless direct communication between patients and doctors. MediBuddy’s architecture prioritizes decentralized storage, user-friendly interfaces, AI-derived preliminary insights, and robust encryption measures. This article details the MediBuddy architecture, its potential impact, expands on insights gained from initial user testing, and discusses the challenges faced during its development.
