Healthcare Data Management - Patient Record Encryption

 Notes:

• What problem does it solve?: It secures patient records by encrypting sensitive data, ensuring privacy and compliance with healthcare regulations like HIPAA.

• How can businesses or users benefit from customizing the code?: Healthcare providers can protect patient information, reducing the risk of data breaches and legal liabilities.

• How can businesses or users adopt the solution further, if needed?: Businesses can expand this by integrating with databases or enhancing encryption algorithms as needed.

Python Code:

from cryptography.fernet import Fernet

# Generate a key for encryption and decryption

key = Fernet.generate_key()

cipher_suite = Fernet(key)

# Encrypt patient data

def encrypt_patient_data(patient_data):

    encrypted_data = cipher_suite.encrypt(patient_data.encode())

    return encrypted_data

# Decrypt patient data

def decrypt_patient_data(encrypted_data):

    decrypted_data = cipher_suite.decrypt(encrypted_data).decode()

    return decrypted_data

# Example

patient_data = "John Doe, DOB: 1990-01-01, Condition: Diabetes"

encrypted = encrypt_patient_data(patient_data)

decrypted = decrypt_patient_data(encrypted)

print("Encrypted:", encrypted)

print("Decrypted:", decrypted)
