Studies from Beijing Institute of Technology Update Current Data on Big Data (Daac: Digital Asset Access Control In a Unified Blockchain Based E-health System): Information Technology – Big Data

2022 OCT 05 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Insurance Daily News -- Investigators publish new report on Information Technology - Big Data. According to news reporting originating in Beijing, People’s Republic of China, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, “The use of the Internet of Things and modern technologies has boosted the expansion of e-health solutions significantly and allowed access to better health services and remote monitoring of patients. Every service provider usually implements its information system to manage and access patient data for its unique purpose.”

Funders for this research include National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), Beijing Natural Science Foundation.

The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from the Beijing Institute of Technology, “Hence, the interoperability among independent e-health service providers is still a major challenge. From the structure of stored data to its large volume, the design of each such big data system varies, hence the cooperation among different e-health systems is almost impossible. In addition to this, the security and privacy of patient information is a challenging task. Building a unified solution for all creates significant business and economic issues. In this article, we present a solution to migrate existing e-health systems to a unified Blockchain-based model, where access to large scale medical data of patients can be achieved seamlessly by any service provider. A core blockchain network connects individual & independent e-health systems without requiring them to modify their internal processes. Access to patient data in the form of digital assets stored in off-chain storage is controlled through patient-centric channels and policy transactions.”

According to the news reporters, the research concluded: “Through emulation, we show that the proposed solution can interconnect different e-health systems efficiently.”

This research has been peer-reviewed.
