Abstract
Telemedicine is a remote medical practice using information and communication technologies. The promises of telemedicine are numerous. In particular, it can help fight against medical deserts, improve patient monitoring and quality of life and participate in better management of health crises. In addition, with the rise of e-health, the protection of patient data has become an increasingly important element in the medical field.
Medical data is important privacy information for the patient, so it is important to ensure the security of medical data transmitted over the public network. This document describes the design and implementation of an e-Health authentication architecture based on the blockchain. This architecture was developed to authenticate online health users accessing gnuhealth ERP data.
The architecture described in this work is based on a Blockchain network with the Ethereum platform using the geth client with the GO language, as regards authentication to the GNUHealth ERP, we have developed a smart contract using the solidity programming language, this smart contract will be linked to gnuhealth and will be deployed in the ethereum network that we have created.
