Blockchain is currently a technology that has been attracting a lot of attention both in academia and industry. Several areas of expertise are benefiting from blockchain due to its characteristics, such as data security, decentralization, traceability and immutability. The objective of this work is to present the use of a blockchain allowed with the implementation of a prototype in the context of e-health applications. Preliminary results indicate that blockchain can be well used for e-health applications, integrating with other technologies.
