Abstract:
The innovative application of blockchain technology in the medical field provides new momentum for the governance of personal health information while there are many legal obstacles. Currently, the dominant control of personal health information on the chain was ambiguous, the integrity of the protection mechanism was lacking, the coordination of technology and law co-management was insufficient, and the sustainability of the governance mechanism was weakened. These problems not only seriously constrained the full play of technical potential, but also directly threatened patients′ privacy rights and interests and health information security. In order to realize the interactive integration of medical blockchain and personal health information governance mechanism, China should strengthen the individual dominant control of the subject of health information, improve the laws and regulations of personal health information protection, optimize the mechanism of technical and legal synergy of personal health information protection, and build a credible and shared personal health information governance system.
