Application of Blockchain Technology in Medical Dispute Management

Abstract

With the increasing complexity of global health challenges and the growing awareness of health among individuals, the importance of personal health management has become more prominent. In modern society, due to the frequent occurrence of medical disputes, it has had a significant impact on the protection of the rights and interests of hospitals and patients. How to obtain necessary data in medical disputes and store it safely is a problem that everyone is facing. Against this backdrop, blockchain technology, with its features of decentralization, immutability, and high transparency, offers a potential solution. By leveraging distributed ledgers, cryptographic algorithms, and smart contracts, blockchain technology can effectively enhance the security and privacy of health data, enabling trustworthy data sharing and interoperability. While the application prospects of blockchain technology in personal health management are broad, its development faces multiple challenges, including technological complexity, issues of standardization, and incomplete legal and regulatory frameworks. Therefore, this paper’s in-depth research on the application and impact of blockchain technology in medical disputes, exploring specific implementation pathways to enhance data security, privacy protection, data sharing, and interoperability, holds significant theoretical and practical value for promoting its application in the field of health management.
