Blockchain & machine learning based secure personal medical record storage and sharing platform - datablock

Abstract

Data is the most important part of machine learning. In the bioinformatics field, the sensitivity of the data is high and due to that, the accessibility of the data for a secondary purpose (e.g.: research) consists of many legal and ethical issues. Due to that in many bioinformatics research collecting the data consume more time than the development phase. There are some researches done to solve the legal and ethical issues by anonymizing the data using encryption, de-identification and perturbation of potentially identifiable attributes. But for some extend those solutions restricted the data breach but on the other hand, anonymized data not performed well during the analysis and mining tasks and some researches done to generate fake data like the real data sets. But those researches not full fill the requirements because of the generated data more restricted to the knowledge of the training data. The evolution of Blockchain provided a secure and trusted way to transfer valuable assets between two unknown parties. This research used Blockchain technology to store and share personal medical data to data scientists. And that will help them to build more accurate and efficient models. It also proposed a machine learning model to predict the authenticity and validity of the personal data based on domain knowledge and the validator's trust percentage.
