MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641047917 A) filed by Vels Institute Of Science, Technology And Advanced Studies, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on April 15, for 'a system and a method for blockchain-based secure medical record access control.'
Inventor(s) include D. Gayathri; and V. Raghavendran.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Disclosed is a system (100) for secure access control of patient medical records using a blockchain-integrated architecture and biometric authentication. The system (100) comprises a blockchain network layer (102) configured to store patient medical records as immutable data blocks and execute smart contracts for access regulation, a processing unit (104), and a memory unit (106) for storing medical data and facial feature representations. A face recognition module (108) captures facial images, while a feature extraction and fusion engine (110) generates enhanced facial features using a multi-scale network. A similarity computation engine (112) performs cosine similarity-based authentication. A graph embedding neural network (114) establishes a secure association between patient records and identity using permutation-invariant mapping. A smart contract execution module (116) validates access permissions, and a communication interface (120) enables data exchange. The system ensures secure, tamper-resistant, and identity-linked access to patient medical records through coordinated blockchain and artificial intelligence-based processing."
