Abstract: The healthcare industry faces a critical need for digital innovation, as personalization and data science prompt patients to engage in the details of their healthcare and restore agency over their medical data.In this chapter, we discuss ways as to how technologies like the blockchain can primarily secure personal and confidential patient data giving permissioned-access approved by the patient herself/himself to related parties like healthcare providers, pharmacies, and healthcare or medical insurers. Patients do not transfer the data to the parties requesting it, but he/she is merely giving them access to view it to enable their work. This protects the privacy of the patients.
