electronic health records on blockchain

Optimized contract can be found in contracts/optimized_healthCare.sol

Summary

Project stores patient records on blockchain(hybrid). Hybrid because files are not stored on blockchain, but access information is stored on blockchain. There will be two participants doctor and patient.

• Doctor register by providing name.
• Patient register by providing name and age.
• Patient uploads files and provides random nounce to encrypt the file, file will be uploaded to IPFS and secret is stored in ethereum.
• Patient provides access to particular doctor.
• Once doctor is given access by patient, he will be able to see patient's address in his home page.
• Doctor can get all files ipfs hash of patient and send request to node app for file view.
• Node app will fetch file from ipfs and get secret from blockchain, decrypt file and send it to doctor.

Note

Code has been tested only with ganache, not with any testnet.

HTTP_PROVIDER = provider url ex: http://127.0.0.1:7545
IPFS_HOST = currently infura (can be changed to local node as well)

1. Start Ganache
   Contract can be deployed to any network, In my case ganache. Update CONTRACT_DEPLOYED_PORT in env, which can be found in build -> contracts -> HealthCare.json -> "networks".

2. Start react server
   npm run start
    visit http://localhost:3000
