| The Personal Health Dossier: A proposed decentralized personal health record system using verifiable credentialsHealth information systems are continuously evolving to meet the changing business models, regulatory environment and needs of users. Today, these systems are changing to realize a patient-centric approach to improve health outcomes and establish greater access and autonomy over health information. Verifiable credential technology will become an essential part of the move to private and secure patient-centric interoperable health information systems. The widespread adoption of mobile devices has opened up the ability to store a patient’s personal health record at the edge of the system. In this type of decentralized architecture, the patient is the locus of their health data and they gain agency over who they grant access to their data. The data that the patient holds is a key to meaningful interoperability between siloed systems. The authors present a novel architecture based on a secure, patient-centric, interoperable design using verifiable credentials to realize these objectives.

| Understanding Adoption Intentions for Blockchain-based Personal Health Records: Integrating Technology Usage and Initial Trust PerspectivesBlockchain-based personal health records (PHR) is an impending blockchain use case that supports patient-centred care and interoperability in the healthcare industry. This paper studies the adoption of blockchain-based PHR by individuals. It proposes a multi-perspective theoretical framework containing the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) and initial trust model (ITM) to understand how individuals’ perceptions and formation of trust prior to adoption may contribute to their behavioral intention toward adopting blockchain-based medical records. This research empirically tested this model using a cross-sectional questionnaire. Partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was used to conduct data analysis. The results validate the theoretical model and demonstrate full support for the ITM and partial support for the UTUAT. Entrants in the blockchain-based PHR market are advised to create trustworthy systems, consider partnering with healthcare institutions to boost institution-based trust and design solutions that meet the performance expectations of users.

| Understanding Adoption Intentions for Blockchain-based Personal Health Records: Integrating Technology Usage and Initial Trust PerspectivesInitial knowledge mobilization of preliminary results presented at AMCIS 2024 in Salt Lake City, Utah (https://aisel.aisnet.org/amcis2024/adoptdiff/adoptdiff/24/). This is a leading academic conference, with more than 1200 registrants, that is focused on advancing digital equity, through identification of disparities in access to technology, especially among marginalized populations such as immigrant/migrant populations. This community of practice is gathered annually to work towards a path for a more equitable socially conscious digital future. In this case valuable feedback was received on initial findings that were presented that will inform ongoing work.
