Adaptive health data in blockchain technology

The main goal of DeHelse is to propose an adaptable, secure, privacy-preserving, transparent and decentralized solution for sharing health data using blockchain technology.

In order to achieve the overall objective, the following secondary objectives have been set: 

• Design an architecture that uses blockchain technology for secure and private sharing of health data. 

• Use advanced cryptographic methods to enable safe calculation and verification without exposing sensitive information. 

• Develop algorithms and protocols for efficient sharing of health data among authorized parties. 

• Enable selective data disclosure to maintain privacy while allowing access to specific information. 

• Come up with some implementation ideas for the proposed solution within the health sector. 

Cryptographic aspects

The project aims to explore the technical and cryptographic aspects of privacy-preserving techniques using blockchain within the context of health data. It will not go deeply into other aspects such as medical diagnosis, treatment or political frameworks.

The research will be limited to the development and evaluation of privacy-preserving techniques using blockchain, with particular emphasis on data security and confidentiality.
