Most of the world has switched to the online world today. Online networking and sharing of data havebecome a common aspect. With the increasing population in the online world and various sectors switchingonline, data breaches and security vulnerabilities have become quite common. Healthcare sector has beenusing old methods in securing patients data which has caused a big loss to the healthcare industry. Tosubside this issue, we have implemented a solution for this problem using blockchain in the healthcaresector. Blockchain technology is a technology built to provide a decentralized system. Patients can easilystore their data and provide access only to those they want to provide access. Patients and doctors can easilyaccess and share data without any security vulnerability. This project uses smart contracts and MERN stacktechnology in building web-based healthcare application.This paper reviews the current EHR method and provide a better solution using the blockchain-based webapplication. This application further helps us in implementing a secured medical health-care recordapplication.
