MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641063491 A) filed by Coimbatore Institute Of Technology; and Intuitive Data Solutions Private Limited, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, on May 20, for 'system and method for securing medical record management using blockchain technology.'
Inventor(s) include Dr S P Abirami; Dr. R. Rajalakshmi; Aathavan B; Bharathi A; Siddhaarth R; and Mohan Raj G.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure proposes a blockchain-enabled medical record management system and a method for managing patient medical records on a permissioned blockchain. The system comprises: a permissioned blockchain that maintains an immutable and chronological chain of medical interactions among consulting doctors, ensuring data integrity, traceability, and controlled access; a medical data capture and preprocessing module that receives and preprocesses diverse medical records comprising clinical notes, diagnostic reports, prescriptions, and treatment histories, and stores the structured data on the permissioned blockchain for reliable retrieval; a smart healthcare access card, similar in form to an ATM card, that enables authorized medical personnel to instantly retrieve critical patient information from the permissioned blockchain without dependency on paper records or patient communication; and a consensus-based authorization mechanism that prevents high-severity medication updates from being committed to the permissioned blockchain without the approval of other consulting doctors in the blockchain network. The proposed system eliminates delayed emergency access, addresses fragmented medical records, and prevents unilateral clinical decisions through a tamper-proof, decentralized, and consent-driven healthcare data-sharing framework. All clinical interactions and authorization events are permanently logged, enabling fully auditable collaboration among healthcare providers and improving treatment accuracy and patient safety."
