ABSTRACT
Blockchain technology can be used throughout health and medical field. In particular, we need to pay attention to the fact which medical consumers, that is, individuals who were recognized as a victim of information asymmetry due to the medical information monopoly of hospitals can regain their sovereignty through blockchain technology. In this paper, we suggested a framework that can complete Personal Health Record (PHR) system, using blockchain technology. Current medical paradigm is shifting from treatment to management. In the management, it is important to know not only current health condition but also existing disease and its treatment process. Storage method of medical information is changing to PHR, an integrated record of EMR information additional medical information of patients, beyond the environment where medical information is recorded and stored with EMR system. The emergence of PHR according to such change in the medical field makes it easy to understand the health condition of patients. Therefore, it is suitable for providing personalized medical services to patients.
