Abstract
Patients recuperating from orthopedic surgery require frequent monitoring and hospital visits with a wealth of personal medical data generated both on and off-site, making it challenging to maintain records. This paper discusses a secure blockchain-based data management software to enable safe remote access without compromising patient information. The BlockTrack software developed at our group will be customized to interface with modules for orthopedic recuperation monitoring. Modules can consist of ultrasonic bone health monitoring sensors, connected to relay nodes that can transmit patient data to the BlockTrack mobile app, which then intercepts the information to be stored securely on a cloud-based Blockchain network. Each record will have a unique ID enabled by Blockchain, for secure access and review of patient information by other parties, including doctors and pharmacists. Key findings are discussed with a goal to further develop this solution.
