Inventor(s) include Gopinath TT; Anitha K; Jaiganesh I; and Victor Devasirvadam.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "System and Method for Patient Health Record Management Using Blockchain Technology The present disclosure relates to a system and method for manage the secure and adaptive consent process for patient health records through the use of block chain technology. The system is made possible by utilizing an architecture with a processor-based control system that ensures the verification of legitimate clinical events prior to creating, modifying or accessing the patient health records. The consent mechanism is dynamic in that it evaluates the patient's consent using real-time data concerning the medical context, practitioner credentials, urgency indicators and regulatory requirements to determine the type and scope of authorized access. All verified patient health records, consent state and clinical event evidence are securely stored in a block chain-based distributed ledger using a hybrid framework to provide a greater degree of immutability, while at the same time providing for the secure long-term storage of all associated medical data off of the chain, thus allowing for greater scalability and performance. The user access to patient health records is enforced using a combination of role-based and trust-weighted access control, and a mechanism is provided for enabling access in emergency situations with the subsequent creation of an audit trail. Robust, auditable capabilities (medico-legal and regulatory) are available, making the system a technically sound, verifiable and interoperable solution for managing patient health records across varying types of healthcare settings."
