Blockchain-Based IoT E-Healthcare

Abstract

Numerous industries, including e-healthcare, are capitalizing on and using blockchain and internet of things (IoT) technology. IoT devices may collect patient vitals and other sensory information in real-time, which medical professionals can then examine. All information gathered from the internet of things is stored, processed, and computed in one place. Such concentration raises concerns since it increases the likelihood of a catastrophic failure, distrust, tampering with data, and even the circumvention of privacy protections. By offering decentralized processing and storage for IoT data, blockchain has the potential to address these critical issues. As a result, designing a decentralized IoT-based e-healthcare system that incorporates IoT and blockchain technology might be a viable option. First, the authors provide some context about blockchain in this essay. The viability of blockchain systems for the internet of things-based e-healthcare is then assessed.
