Tremendous growth in healthcare treatment techniques and methods has led to the emergence of numerous storage and communication problems and need for security among vendors and patients. This book brings together latest applications and state-of-the-art developments in healthcare sector using Blockchain technology. It explains how blockchain can enhance security, privacy, interoperability, and data accessibility including Artificial Intelligence (AI) with blockchains, blockchains for medical imaging to supply chain management, and centralized management/clearing houses alongside DLT.
Generally, IoT devices use different types of networks like cloud, edge, fog computing, and their IP address. Moreover, for the massive heterogeneity of the connected devices, they use different types of data processing mechanisms. So, major issues regarding security, privacy, data management, data transmission, etc. have been raised. Furthermore, using these security gaps, intruders can get the advantage and alter information creating a hazard in the whole system. A lot of work has been conducted by the researchers to find solutions for such instances. Blockchain is the latest and one of the most fruitful generalized additions to these solutions. The blockchain concept is relatively old, but its recent practical implementation in cryptocurrency has created an immense opportunity for data management and communication. The drawbacks of IoT networks are mainly due to the centralized processing mechanism and lack of homogenous computation characteristics among the devices. It increases the cost and reduces trust compromising the security of data. Blockchain, on the other hand, introduces a decentralized system that can ensure security in a trustless environment. Moreover, it can provide efficient authentication and access control policy against security threats. The user’s anonymity, the robust consensus protocol for data validation, and the use of public-key cryptography mechanism in transaction procedure initiate a strong urge to research on blockchain to resolve the IoT security issues.
