Voice Biometric Access Control in Blockchain-Enhanced Electronic Health Records

Securing electronic health records (EHRs) is critical in the modern healthcare landscape, where digital transformation enhances connectivity and data-driven decision-making. This paper introduces a secure framework that integrates voice-based authentication, blockchain technology, and machine learning to protect EHRs, particularly in IoT-enabled, high-frequency wireless communication environments. The new distributed system utilizes blockchain technology to improve the security and integrity of medical records. User verification is achieved through voice authentication, which adds a biometric element as well. A working model was designed to show the system’s feasibility along with a case study on heart health monitoring. Simulated results demonstrated better block creation time, transaction latency, and validation accuracy.
