Decentralized or self-sovereign identity (SSI) is presented as a patient-centered alternative to centralized healthcare data systems, which have become frequent targets for breaches that exposed more than 70 million records in 2023. SSI allows patients to store digitally signed verifiable credentials from trusted providers in personal digital wallets and selectively share only necessary information, potentially improving privacy, reducing unauthorized disclosure, and supporting HIPAA’s minimum-necessary principle. Distributed ledger technologies, including blockchain, can provide immutable records and stronger auditability for credential issuance and verification, although blockchain is not required and public chains may create privacy and scalability concerns; permissioned ledgers or alternatives such as Hashgraph may be more suitable. Successful adoption still requires careful system design, secure wallets, encryption, access controls, interoperability standards, and alignment with HIPAA rather than assuming SSI alone guarantees compliance. Didit promotes its identity-verification platform, credential tools, APIs, and compliance-oriented features as support for healthcare organizations implementing such systems.
