The study aims to address the key performance issues related to transaction
throughput, data integrity, and energy consumption when applying blockchain
technology to health data management. The simulations suggest that blockchain indeed
contributes to overall data security and interoperability, albeit with some cost in
increased latency and energy requirements as well as scalability. Blockchain performs
well in terms of health data management and security; however, it needs to be
optimized for capacity for larger datasets under heavy network load. This research
shows that better and more sustainable solutions in blockchain performance, especially
during emergency situations, are greatly needed. The results illustrate the benefit of
blockchain to revolutionize healthcare data management, but also provide insights into
key areas that need more work.
Keywords: Blockchain, Data integrity, Data management, Security, Transaction throughput.
