A New Infertility-Blockchain Model by Using User Modelling and Relevance Feedback for Medical Record Management

Abstract

Electronic Medical Records (EMR) contain a significant amount of sensitive data that requires strict security measures. EMRs play a vital role in ensuring the smooth and efficient functioning of hospitals. However, the absence of accurate, complete, up-to-date, and easily accessible medical records could hinder medical personnel from delivering the most effective treatments, potentially leading to misdiagnoses and unfavorable outcomes. This could have widespread repercussions. Infertility is a pressing public health concern that demands thorough attention. Insufficient or inaccurately collected information could greatly diminish the likelihood of successful conception. Presently, blockchain technology stands out as one of the potential solutions for effective hospital record management. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the concept of an infertility record management system utilizing blockchain technology, incorporating two techniques: User Modelling (UM) and Relevance Feedback (RF). As a result, a prototype of the Infertility Blockchain Model has been developed to simulate a real-life system within the infertility medical department of a local hospital.
