ABSTRACT
Healthcare systems are essential for patient care and data management but face persistent challenges with data security, interoperability, and transparency. Traditional centralized storage models increase data breach risks and limit patients’ control over personal health information, complicating seamless data sharing across providers. However, centralized storage systems still lack the security and interoperability required for robust data sharing. To address this, our study proposes a ZKP-based verification system integrated with NFT blockchain technology, aimed at enhancing identity verification while ensuring data privacy and patient control. In our method, NFTs serve as unique digital identifiers linked to patient records, while zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) confirm data ownership without disclosing sensitive information. Our findings indicate that this approach mitigates identity fraud risks, strengthens data security, and offers a patient-centered system for selective data access. Beyond patient records, our solution supports transparency in clinical trials and pharmaceutical supply chains, combating counterfeiting and improving quality control. In our paper, we proposed a ZKP-based verification system integrated with NFT blockchain technology to improve identity verification in healthcare, offering a robust, patient-centered approach to data security and integrity.
