Holochain-Based Electronic Health Records: A Segregated and Secure Approach (Published)
The management of electronic health records (EHRs) faces persistent challenges related to security vulnerabilities, interoperability limitations, and inadequate patient control. This paper explores Holochain as a transformative architecture for health information systems that addresses these issues through a distributed agent-centric approach. Unlike centralized EHR systems that create single points of failure or conventional blockchain implementations with scalability constraints, Holochain enables each participant to maintain their own immutable record chain while participating in a larger distributed hash table. We present a comprehensive framework analyzing Holochain-based EHRs across six dimensions: technical architecture, security mechanisms, patient empowerment, interoperability strategies, regulatory compliance, and implementation pathways. The proposed system shifts the EHR paradigm from institution-centric to patient-centric while maintaining workflow efficiency and regulatory adherence. Through cryptographic signatures, immutable audit trails, self-sovereign identity, and granular access controls, this architecture enhances security and patient sovereignty while improving interoperability through standardized data schemas and flexible integration options. We address regulatory compliance across diverse jurisdictions and ethical considerations regarding equitable access, concluding with implementation approaches and research directions. Despite implementation challenges, Holochain-based EHRs offer significant advantages over current approaches, warranting continued investment and exploration.

The Role of Blockchain in Securing Healthcare Data Integration (Published)
Blockchain technology represents a transformative force in healthcare data management, addressing critical challenges in security, interoperability, and patient data control. Implementing blockchain solutions has revolutionized healthcare organizations’ ability to protect sensitive information while ensuring seamless accessibility for authorized users. Through decentralized architectures and advanced cryptographic protocols, blockchain systems have dramatically reduced unauthorized access attempts and data breaches while improving operational efficiency. Smart contracts have automated compliance verification and consent management processes, significantly reducing administrative overhead and improving accuracy. Patient-centric implementations have empowered individuals with greater control over their medical records while maintaining robust security standards. Integration with artificial intelligence and machine learning has enhanced predictive analytics capabilities while preserving data integrity. The adoption of standardized healthcare protocols has improved cross-system compatibility and data sharing capabilities, leading to better care coordination and reduced medical errors. As healthcare data volumes continue to grow exponentially, blockchain technology provides a scalable framework for secure, efficient, and patient-centered healthcare data management.
