Decentralize Healthcare Marketplace
Abstract
This paper presents the development of a decentralized healthcare marketplace, where patients can anonymously sell their data in the form of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) to researchers. The platform aims to merge NFTs, decentralized finance, and patients' record management, empowering patients, expanding research opportunities, and enhancing healthcare outcomes through blockchain technology. The methodology employed for this research includes field research and discussions with professionals, ensuring credible and valuable insights. The article concludes that blockchain technology offers a transformative solution for healthcare record management, addressing issues of data security, privacy, interoperability, and transparency. Future work focuses on scalability and performance optimization, regulatory compliance, and governance, as well as interoperability and data standardization, among other areas, to unlock the platform's full potential.
