Abstract


Blockchain is a distributed database that multiple parties can maintain and share. This new technology is expected to greatly impact the healthcare industry. It can help address various issues related to patient care. The potential of blockchain technology to improve the healthcare industry's privacy, security, and interoperability is immense. Its decentralized nature enables it to securely store and share medical records, which can be accessed and utilized by various stakeholders, such as patients and healthcare providers. Blockchain can help decrease the risk of unauthorized access and manipulation of patient data, improve transparency, and increase the quality of patient care. It can also help healthcare institutions and providers share updated and accurate medical records. Patients can gain more control over the medical data they collect through blockchain technology. This can help them make informed decisions regarding their health and contribute to the development of effective healthcare policies. It can also help them participate in the research process by securely sharing their information with scientists. Overall, blockchain technology's adoption in the healthcare industry can help improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the system.
