1. A blockchain-enabled medical implant, comprising:
a physical body configured to be implanted within a patient;
a proximity communication component physically coupled to the physical body; and
a memory operatively coupled to the proximity communication component, the memory storing a private key that is provide via the proximity communication component to an external device for enabling the external device to access one or more electronic medical records associated with the patient from a distributed blockchain ledger of electronic medical records, wherein the memory stores instructions to:
establish communicative contact with the external device using a proximity communication mode; and
allow access, based on an authentication level, to the private key to access a patient-specific healthcare data in at least one non-fungible token.
