Secure transmission of electronic health records via blockchain

1. A method for securely transmitting electronic healthcare records between a plurality of computing devices in communication with each other, comprising:

receiving, at a first computing device, a request from a second computing device to access at least one electronic health record in a database of electronic health records, wherein the request from the second computing device is based on accessing de-identified data of the at least one electronic health record, wherein the database of electronic health records is stored at a remote memory module, wherein the database of electronic health records comprises de-identified data accessible by the plurality of computing devices;

sending, from the first computing device, at least one authorization requirement to the second computing device;

detecting, at the first computing device, that the at least one authorization requirement has been provided by the second computing device;

based on detecting that the at least one authorization requirement has been provided, generating, at the first computing device, a token associated with the at least one authorization requirement and the received request, wherein the token provides a decryption key for the encrypted identifiable data,

wherein the token corresponds to a block in a Blockchain, the block including a cryptographic hash of a previous block, a timestamp, and transaction data related to the received request and the at least one authorization requirement;

retrieving, by the first computing device, identifiable data from the remote memory module, wherein the identifiable data corresponds to the received request;

encrypting, by the first computing device, the identifiable data;

sending the token to the second computing device from the first computing device to access the at least one electronic health record; and

sending, from the first computing device, the encrypted identifiable data to the second computing device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one authorization requirement comprises a payment request based on the received request.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein detecting that the at least one authorization requirement has been provided comprises:

receiving, at the first computing device, a payment from the second computing device, wherein the payment corresponds to the payment request.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the method further comprises sending, via the first computing device, the payment to a user associated with the at least one electronic health record.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein each electronic health record in the database of electronic health records is automatically generated upon receiving health information from a user.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein generating each electronic health record is based on the received health information and comprises access restrictions.

7. A system for securely transmitting electronic healthcare records between a plurality of computing devices in communication with each other, comprising:

one or more processors; and

a memory coupled to the processors comprising instructions executable by the processors, the processors being operable when executing the instructions to:

receive, at a first computing device, a request from a second computing device to access at least one electronic health record in a database of electronic health records, wherein the request from the second computing device is based on accessing de-identified data of the at least one electronic health record, wherein the database of electronic health records is stored at a remote memory module, wherein the database of electronic health records comprises de-identified data accessible by the plurality of computing devices;

send, from the first computing device, at least one authorization requirement to the second computing device;

detect, at the first computing device, that the at least one authorization requirement has been provided by the second computing device;

based on detecting that the at least one authorization requirement has been provided, generate, at the first computing device, a token associated with the at least one authorization requirement and the received request, wherein the token provides a decryption key for the encrypted identifiable data,

wherein the token corresponds to a block in a Blockchain, the block including a cryptographic hash of a previous block, a timestamp, and transaction data related to the received request and the at least one authorization requirement;

retrieve, by the first computing device, identifiable data from the remote memory module, wherein the identifiable data corresponds to the received request;

encrypt, by the first computing device, the identifiable data;

send the token to the second computing device from the first computing device to access the at least one electronic health record; and

send, from the first computing device, the encrypted identifiable data to the second computing device.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the at least one authorization requirement comprises a payment request based on the received request.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein detecting that the at least one authorization requirement has been provided comprises:

receiving, at the first computing device, a payment from the second computing device, wherein the payment corresponds to the payment request.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein executing the instructions further comprises:

send, via the first computing device, the payment to a user associated with the at least one electronic health record.

11. The system of claim 7 , wherein each electronic health record in the database of electronic health records is automatically generated upon receiving health information from a user.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein generating each electronic health record is based on the received health information and comprises access restrictions.
