Self-Sovereign Identity for Consented and Content-Based Access to Medical Records Using Blockchain

Portable Trust: biometric-based authentication and blockchain storage for self-sovereign identity systems

We devised a mobile biometric-based authentication system only relying on local processing. Our Android open source solution explores the capability of current smartphones to acquire, process and match fingerprints using only its built-in hardware. Our architecture is specifically designed to run completely locally and autonomously, not requiring any cloud service, server, or permissioned acces...

Secure and Trustable Electronic Medical Records Sharing using Blockchain

Electronic medical records (EMRs) are critical, highly sensitive private information in healthcare, and need to be frequently shared among peers.

With the increasing amount of medical images that are routinely acquired in today’s healthcare institutions, common methods of image management become inefficient. Even in modern picture archiving and communication systems that are based on the DICOM standard, image data is addressed by alphanumerical indexes such as patient name and examination date. In this software demonstration, the capabil...
