BLOCK CHAIN-ENABLED HEALTHCARE: ENSURING SECURE AND SCALABLE DATA WITH MYSQL INTEGRATION

Abstract

This paper introduces MBHA (MySQL-Block chain Healthcare Architecture), a novel and efficient solution to the challenges of modern healthcare data management by integrating the structured querying capabilities of MySQL with the security and immutability of block chain technology. The architecture ensures secure, scalable, and tamper-proof storage and access to sensitive medical data, addressing concerns around integrity, privacy, and realtime collaboration. Performance evaluations demonstrate the system’s effectiveness, with an average user registration response time of 1.54 seconds, login time of 841 milliseconds, database query latency under 1 millisecond, and JWT-based authentication token generation in under 50 milliseconds. The model not only supports reliable and secure operations but also aligns with regulatory compliance and scalability requirements, offering a practical framework for futureready, secure healthcare systems. Additionally, MBHA enhances data accessibility for authorized healthcare professionals while ensuring auditability through block chain’s immutable ledger. The combination of MySQL and block chain allows for efficient data indexing, fast retrieval, and traceable updates without compromising security.
