Abstract

In the changing ecosystem of e-health, protecting the privacy and security of patient data is not only a regulatory requirement, but also a technical challenge. Although some literature points in that direction, several conceptual frameworks developed in the literature have limitations in terms of real application, scalability, or connection with compliance. In this paper we introduce a concept for an ecosystem for realtime-enabled secure data sharing in the healthcare domain, where a security researchers and ethical hackers, using the provenance of a blockchain, enhance the learning in privacy preserving techniques in the context of digital regulatory compliance. Leveraging lightweight consensus mechanisms and storing data on the blockchain using smart contracts for fine-grained privacy control, the proposed system enables data integrity, patient-centric control and adherence to internationally recognized privacy legislations such as HIPAA and GDPR. Compared with existing proposals that are at the conceptual or highly specific level, the proposed framework is demonstrated on real clinical data environments, and is validated, scalable and deployable. The findings show an overall better performance in access control latency, breach-detection accuracy, and audit transparency of such system, laying the ground for more secure, trusted, and resilient digital healthcare infrastructures.
