Abstract
A few years ago blockchain technology was used in cryptocurrency. Nowadays, a variety of diverse areas are seeing the benefits of applying this technological approach to their needs. One way transactions without reverse mode is making blockchain a desirable platform for maintaining data. The authenticity, transparency and authorization of it make it ideal for healthcare or laboratory data systems. Research data should be authorized by a specific employee and never changed. The information collected should be never forged or falsified. Designing a blockchain system with access and permission rules is ideal in such a situation. In this article, we present the adaptation of blokchain technology to medical research laboratories and diagnostics. Afterwards, an RSA signature user can store information of any type and size. The new SHA-3 hash function is used to bind blocks together. This technological path makes laboratory workflow more efficient and fulfills restriction on medical laws.
