Secure transmission of electronic health records via blockchain

A system for securely transmitting electronic records between a plurality of computing devices in communication with each other, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processors comprising instructions executable by the processors, the processors being operable when executing the instructions to:
• receive, at a first computing device, a request from a second computing device to access at least one electronic record in a database of electronic records, wherein the request from the second computing device is based on accessing de-identified data of the at least one electronic record;
• in response to detecting that an authorization requirement has been provided, generate, at the first computing device, a token associated with the authorization requirement and the received request, wherein the token provides a decryption key for encrypted identifiable data, wherein the token corresponds to a block in a publicly verifiable mechanism;
• encrypt, by the first computing device, identifiable data corresponding to the received request;
• send the token to the second computing device from the first computing device to access the at least one electronic record;
• and
• send, from the first computing device, the encrypted identifiable data to the second computing device.

A system for securely transmitting electronic records between a plurality of computing devices in communication with each other, the system comprising:

• a database of electronic records, wherein the database of electronic records comprises de-identified data accessible by the plurality of computing devices;
• a first computing device, wherein the first computing device is communicatively coupled to the database of electronic records and a second computing device via a communications network, the first computing device configured to:
• receive, from the second computing device via the communications network, a request to access at least one electronic health record in the database of electronic records, wherein the request is based on accessing de-identified data of the at least one electronic health record;
• in response to detecting that an authorization requirement has been provided by the second computing device, generate a token associated with the authorization requirement and the received request, wherein the token provides a decryption key for encrypted identifiable data, wherein the token corresponds to a block in a blockchain, the block including transaction data related to the received request and the authorization requirement;
• encrypt identifiable data corresponding to the received request;
• send, via the communications network to the second computing device, the token;
• send, via the communications network to the second computing device, the encrypted identifiable data.
