Abstract

Blockchain technology is changing several sectors of the economy, but healthcare is one of the most affected. This study looks at how blockchain is changing healthcare procedures, especially in terms of improving data sharing security and transparency, which is essential for precise diagnosis and efficient treatment. Traditional healthcare systems can be improved to provide more dependable and accessible health records, guaranteeing prompt and accurate medical care, by integrating blockchain. In discussing how blockchain affects the administration of Electronic Health Records (EHRs), the paper emphasizes how patient data can be protected from the risks associated with private companies' centralized control. The management of health information is more secure thanks to this decentralized method, which lowers the chances of data breaches and unauthorized access. The study also examines the growing market for the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) and consumer medical devices, highlighting the significance of public-private sector cooperation in the creation of blockchain-based healthcare initiatives. For healthcare technologies to advance and to satisfy customer expectations for linked medical devices, these partnerships are essential. This study essentially offers a thorough examination of how blockchain technology is transforming the healthcare sector, specifically about EHR administration and IoMT integration. The study emphasizes the necessity of implementing this technology to build more safe, effective, and patient-centered healthcare systems by discussing its potential and obstacles.
