Abstract

With the rapid development and wide applications of information technology in the medical field, the data sharing of medical information has become one of the focus that has been received much attention by most researchers in recent years. At present, the scheme of data sharing based on blockchain has been becoming more and more mature, and it has the features of decentralized, secure and tamper-resistant to address the problem of data security in the process of data sharing, thereby improving the quality of medical service of citizens, reducing medical cost and cutting down medical risk. Obviously, information technology is not the main factor to hinder data sharing between medical institutions. Actually, the low enthusiasm of medical institutions was due to lack a comprehensive incentive mechanism of medical data sharing. Combining the medical field, this paper proposes an incentive mechanism of data sharing based on information entropy, which can effectively promote more medical institutions to participate in data sharing and enhance the enthusiasm of medical data sharing. Analyses show that the approach is efficient and effective.
