Abstract

Clinical research comprises participation from patients. Often there are concerns of enrolment from patients. Hence, it has to face various challenges related to personal data, such as data sharing, privacy and reproducibility, etc. Patients and researchers need to track a set plan called study protocol. This protocol spans through various stages such as registration, collection and analysis of data, report generation, and finally, results in publication of findings. The Blockchain technology has emerged as one of the possible solutions to these challenges. It has a potential to address all the problem associated with clinical research. It provides the comfort for building transparent, secure services relying on trusted third party. This technology enables one to share the control of the data, security, and the parameters with a single patient or a group of patients or any other stakeholders of clinical trial. This chapter addresses the use of blockchain in execution of secure and trusted clinical trials.
