Abstract: The security and effective management of health records is a key issue for today's digitized healthcare environment. In terms of data security, integrity and accessibility, traditional centralized systems face challenges. We propose a novel system of medical report management and dissemination using the Block-chain technology, as well as SHA1 encryption for addressing these issues. In order to store hashed medical reports, our system uses a decentralized block-chain network to ensure tamper-proof and immutable records. SHA1 is used to hash every medical report, generating a unique identifier that's stored on the Block-chain. The integration of Flask, Python's lightweight web framework, facilitates the creation of an easy user interface to interact with a system easily. Secure storage, effective distribution and granular control of medical reports are among the key features of our system. In order to maintain the integrity and confidentiality of data, patients, physicians or authorized persons should be able to use secure means for accessing and updating their healthcare records. The use of SHA1 increases system security by providing a reliable cryptographic hash. Our system is aimed at simplifying the management and distribution of medical reports, thereby improving efficiency and patient outcomes in addition to enhanced data protection and integrity. By ensuring security, transparency and decentralized solutions, we are confident that the proposal for a medical records management system has the potential to revolutionize this area.
