Abstract. Relevance. Modern society is facing a growing need for secure, reliable and transparent exchange of personal data of patients in the field of healthcare. Protecting the confidentiality and integrity of medical information is a priority to ensure quality and efficient medical care. Blockchain technologies provide a promising tool for solving this problem by enabling the creation of a decentralized and secure system for the exchange of personal patient data. The purpose of this work is to ensure a high level of security and confidentiality of medical data, as well as to increase the efficiency of healthcare processes by developing software components of a system for exchanging personal data of patients based on blockchain technologies. The object of research is the system of exchange of personal data of patients in the healthcare sector. The subject of the study is software components based on blockchain technologies designed to ensure the security, transparency and efficiency of medical information exchange. Results. This paper proposes an architectural model of a secure and efficient health data exchange system that can be widely implemented in the healthcare sector. Conclusion. The introduction of a secure personal data exchange system based on blockchain technology in the healthcare sector will help improve the quality of medical care and provide faster access to important data for medical personnel. Theoretical significance lies in expanding knowledge about the use of blockchain technologies in the healthcare sector and the security and confidentiality of medical information. This study can serve as a basis for further research in this area and contribute to the development of new methods and approaches to the exchange of medical data.Downloads
