Mobile health (mHealth), offers services that help to medical staff and patients to get access to their data from any place through an internet connection. Likewise, it is necessary to guarantee the security of the data that generates an impact on the patient’s care. The inability of accessing the data could lead to delays in treatment and decision making. Therefore, we propose a security model to protect patient data in mHealth systems using Blockchain. This model is implemented under a Blockchain platform that allows collecting, sharing and integrating data in a safe way through a mobile app for mHealth devices, for medical care in Peruvian clinics. A test scenario was defined to validate the proposed model. Also, the study was conducted with a group of users through a health mobile app and the used medical data was provided by a hospital in Peru as anonymized research data. During the study, we validated the following topics: access control to the network, access to medical information of authorized users, data integrity on each transaction and performance evaluation of the system under a high user transaction load. As a final result, we conclude that the implementation of the proposed model guaranteed authentication, confidentiality, integrity and availability of the data, generating enhanced security in mHealth systems, as well as proved to be a scalable system supporting a high transaction load.
