Abstract: A computer-implemented method utilizing blockchain technology for managing healthcare records is provided. The computer-implemented method comprises providing a computer network with one or more computing devices that are interconnected through the computer network. The computer-implemented method comprises submitting a proposal from a first computing device of the one or more computing devices to a plurality of endorsing peers for approval. The computer-implemented method comprises approving the proposal by the plurality of endorsing peers with the at least one computing device and replying to the proposal with a response comprising a peer approved transaction. The computer-implemented method comprises creating a private peer-to-peer communication channel between the first computing device and a second computing device. The computer-implemented method comprises creating a block of transactions and adding the block of transactions to a ledger.
