Abstract: Managing the profusion of health data from either caregivers, patients and any other stakeholder institution in the health system leads to the creation of numerous databases which are rarely effectively coordinated with one another. In addition, the same information can be recorded several times by different parties, which is a source of many errors. In addition, such large databases are vulnerable to hacking and are subject to strict legal rules for controlling data confidentiality. The dramatic experience of the global Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted the great difficulty of effectively monitoring patients with existing information systems. Given this observation, it appears that the creation of a decentralized health blockchain with limited access is a solution to rationalize the management of health data while preserving the essential rules of confidentiality, scalability and traceability.
