This study aims to design and implement blockchain-based smart contracts for secure, transparent, and patient-oriented patient data access consent management. The research method employed a systems approach combining qualitative and quantitative methods through waterfall development stages. The system was developed using the Ethereum Sepolia Testnet blockchain and Solidity-based smart contracts. The implementation results demonstrate that blockchain technology is capable of permanently and transparently recording all patient data consent transactions. The smart contract successfully implemented a Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) mechanism, allowing patients to grant and revoke access permissions for doctors or healthcare institutions. The testing results indicate that the access validation mechanism functioned properly, although there are limitations related to scalability and gas costs on public blockchains. Security evaluation was limited to functional testing and access validation, indicating the need for further testing such as penetration testing and smart contract vulnerability analysis. Overall, this study proves that blockchain technology and smart contracts are capable of improving security and trust in digital healthcare data management, while also supporting the future development of artificial intelligence-based Decision Support Systems.
