Comparative Analysis of Healthcare Cost between M-DPS vs. DPS Architecture by Using Blockchain Technology

The potential for blockchain technology to transform healthcare systems globally is enormous. Blockchain technology has the potential to revolutionize healthcare by creating a decentralized, transparent, and secure platform that can tackle issues like data interoperability, supply chain management, and patient participation. Using blockchain technology, this article compares and contrasts the healthcare expenses of two architectures: The Modified Decentralized Patient System (MPS) and the Decentralized Patient System (DPS). The study examines the gas costs linked with transactions to assess the economic impact of implementing these designs in healthcare settings. The paper compares the M-DPS and DPS architectures and determines the gas costs associated with file uploads. Furthermore, the article compares the expenses of file uploads on blockchain networks that use IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) and those that do not. Results shed light on possible monetary gains and losses from using blockchain technology in healthcare data management systems.
