This manuscript examines the potential of blockchain technology as a decentralized solution to safeguard Electronic Health Records (EHRs). By leveraging blockchain's distributed ledger system, we explore its capacity to ensure data integrity, protect patient privacy, and facilitate secure information exchange across disparate healthcare systems. This study conceptualizes the integration of blockchain technology into EHR systems, highlighting its decentralized architecture, encryption protocols, and potential for enhancing access control and auditing. The adoption of smart contracts and secure communication protocols in blockchain networks is also discussed as a means to streamline secure and patient-consented data exchange between healthcare providers. Blockchain offers a transformative solution for EHR security, providing an immutable and transparent record of patient data. With decentralized storage, patient access can be securely managed, and data can be shared across institutions, promoting interoperability. Blockchain allows patients to maintain control over their own health data, thus enhancing trust in healthcare systems. The integration of blockchain technology into EHR systems represents a breakthrough in healthcare security and interoperability. Through its decentralized structure, blockchain addresses significant challenges such as data breaches, privacy concerns, and fragmented healthcare data management. The implementation of blockchain in EHRs can result in a more secure, patient-centered healthcare system that fosters transparency and trust.

Moreover, underreporting and slow data collection hinder timely outbreak detection. This study proposes a novel framework, leveraging social media data-particularly from platforms such as Twitter, Google Trends, Reddit, and Facebook-to predict and monitor the spread of infectious diseases in real-time.
