A review of recent trends in the health sector using Blockchain Technology (BT)

Department

Abstract- Using a Blockchain network,thehealthcaredevice stores, and exchanges patient data with hospitals, diagnostic labs, drug companies, and doctors. Consequently, it can enhance the efficiency, security, and transparency of exchanging medical data in the health care system. Diagrams are used to illustrate the many capabilities, enablers, and unified workflow processes of blockchain technology as they relate to supporting global healthcare. Thestudyconcludesby listing and discussing fourteensignificantusesofblockchainin healthcare. Blockchain technology is essential for controlling fraud in clinical trials; in this case, it makes it possible to improve the efficiency of healthcare records. It can provide a decent centralized safety of data in healthcare and avoids precise threats.
