On a daily basis we deal with documents like educational records, health records, certificates etc. Medicalrecords are still being stored on legacy systems which carries the risk of losing important documents. Thereare security and privacy concerns regarding the safety of documents on centralized server. To overcomethese difficulties, we made a blockchain based record storage web app through which anyone upload theirmedical records on the blockchain and can access them with a private key. The patient or the user candownload and access reports from anywhere and can also manage to share them with his doctor etc.Blockchain is a decentralized, distributed, peer to peer ledger on the internet. Blockchain technology helps tomaintain security and reliability without placing any trust in a third party. The use of smart contracts inblockchain helps in making things much easier.This paper examines the record storage system including the technologies involved and the methodologies.The approach used for making an electronic health record storage web app through which we can implementa more broader record storage system that can store and manage numerous types of records.
