### Workflow Explained

1. **Patient Registration**: Patients create an account on the HealthCare platform, providing necessary personal information and medical history.
2. **Health Record Storage**: Patient health records, including medical history, lab results, and prescriptions, are securely stored on the L1X blockchain, ensuring immutability and tamper-proof data integrity.
3. **Access Control**: Patients have sole ownership and control over their health records. They can grant permission to healthcare providers, such as doctors, clinics, or hospitals, to access their records for treatment purposes.
4. **Appointment Booking**: Patients can browse through the profiles and availability of doctors on the HealthCare platform. They can select a suitable doctor and schedule an appointment directly through the L1X Health Smart Contract.
5. **Smart Contract Verification**: The L1X Health Smart Contract verifies the availability of the selected doctor based on their schedule, ensuring appointment accuracy and avoiding conflicts.
6. **Appointment Confirmation**: Once the appointment is successfully scheduled, the L1X Health Smart Contract records the appointment details, including date, time, and doctor's information, on the L1X blockchain.
7. **Real-Time Updates**: Patients and doctors can access real-time updates on their appointments, including any rescheduling or cancellations, through the HealthCare platform, enhancing communication and reducing no-shows.
8. **Secure Communication**: Through the platform, patients and doctors can securely communicate regarding pre-appointment instructions, post-appointment follow-ups, and other healthcare-related discussions.
9. **Health Record Updates**: During the appointment, doctors can update the patient's health records with diagnosis, treatment information, and prescribed medications, ensuring comprehensive and up-to-date medical records.
10. **Data Privacy and Consent**: Patient data remains private and is shared only with authorized healthcare providers based on patient consent and specified access permissions.
