BLOCKCHAIN-DRIVEN EMPLOYEE HEALTH MONITORING SYSTEMS: A CONCEPTUAL APPROACH TO ADVANCE SDG 3 IN INDIAN CORPORATE SETTINGS

Abstract: In the evolving landscape of corporate governance, employee health
monitoring has emerged as a pivotal component of sustainable human resource
practices, particularly in alignment with the United Nations' Sustainable
Development Goal 3 (SDG 3) – Good Health and Well-being, as localized within
the Indian context. This conceptual paper explores the transformative potential
of blockchain technology in designing secure, transparent, and real-time
employee health monitoring systems within Indian corporate settings. By
leveraging blockchain's core features—decentralization, immutability, and smart
contracts—organizations can enable continuous health data tracking, predictive
wellness interventions, and automated compliance with occupational health
standards. The study proposes a blockchain-integrated framework that connects
HR systems with wearable devices, healthcare providers, and wellness programs
to ensure data privacy, real-time health analytics, and equitable access to
preventive care. This approach addresses critical gaps in traditional health
monitoring mechanisms, such as data silos, privacy breaches, and delayed
interventions, while reinforcing adherence to national regulations like the
Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020. The proposed
framework offers actionable insights for HR leaders, technologists, and
policymakers to foster a proactive, data-driven culture of employee well-being in
a digitally empowered and socially responsible corporate ecosystem.
