MediLedger: An app to store Healthcare documents on Blockchain

MediLedger is a proof-of-concept application that demonstrates secure, permission-based storage and retrieval of healthcare documents using blockchain technology. It simulates decentralized access control, immutable logging, and document integrity verification through a custom-built blockchain implemented in Python. A detailed explanation of the system's architecture, design rationale, and implementation is provided in the accompanying research paper.
