Abstract
The healthcare industry is using the Internet of Things (IoT) extensively. The healthcare sector manages sensitive information, including an individual’s medical history, blood pressure, and other relevant data. Consequently, the technologies used in this domain are becoming more susceptible to attacks because of their heightened sensitivity. Therefore, it is essential to protect the data. Blockchain technology has been shown to provide substantial benefits in achieving this goal. Incorporating blockchain technology into IoT devices has yielded substantial benefits, thanks to notable technical progress. This chapter thoroughly examines the characteristics of blockchain technology that enhance its efficiency in managing sensitive data and ensuring data security and privacy. Furthermore, this chapter systematically explains the region’s many security obstacles and how blockchain technology might successfully overcome them. The study’s results indicate that future research should explore how gender, age, and knowledge of blockchains affect the adoption of blockchain technology in innovative healthcare systems. An alternate field of research involves evaluating the many elements that influence the adoption of the technology known as blockchain.
