Abstract

The purpose of a smart healthcare system is to provide remote services at any time without compromising its security and privacy. Blockchain technology provides encryption and cryptographic-based services in a decentralized environment. Blockchain facilitates handling of patient’s data storage and access, digital health wallet, and medical insurances without the need of third-party intermediaries. This study suggests using blockchain in various health-related fields. The study also emphasizes how blockchain can be used in conjunction with other enabling technologies like big data, AI, IoT, and machine learning to raise the caliber of smart healthcare and thus improve security and privacy services.

Keywords: Blockchain, encryption, AI, IoT, decentralization, security, healthcare, machine learning
