Research Article Spotlight

Hyperledger Fabric-Powered Digital Identity Scheme: Transforming CIA—Triad Security in IoMT Integrated Healthcare Eco-System
Sanjay Jena, PhD Scholar, Ram Chandra Barik, PhD, Saroj Padhan, PhD

This study presents a Hyperledger Fabric–based framework for secure, decentralized patient identification and data management in a smart healthcare network. The system connects hospitals, labs, nursing departments, and insurers through privacy-preserving channels, ensuring data integrity, confidentiality, and controlled access. A dedicated patient node empowers individuals to manage their own health information. The architecture employs hierarchical orderers for scalability and verified configurations for reliability. By addressing security, interoperability, and collaboration, the framework demonstrates blockchain’s potential to improve trust, efficiency, and compliance in modern healthcare systems.

Implications For Healthcare Professionals

• Streamlined access to records – Clinicians can securely retrieve real-time patient data across hospitals, labs, and insurers without delays.
• Improved care coordination – Shared, tamper-proof data reduces errors, duplication, and gaps in treatment across departments and organizations.
• Patient empowerment – Professionals must adapt to patients having direct control over their own health records, including access permissions.
• Data security & compliance – Reduced risk of breaches and stronger alignment with global privacy regulations (e.g., HIPAA, GDPR).
• Operational efficiency – Less administrative overhead in verifying records, identities, and authorizations.
• Interoperability skills – Providers will need to understand and work within blockchain-based systems that connect multiple stakeholders.
