Nowadays, blockchain is developing as a secure and trustworthy platform for secure information sharing in areas of application like banking, supply chain management, food industry, energy, the Internet, and medical services. Besides, the blockchain can be described in a decentralized manner as an immutable ledger for recording data entries. Furthermore, this new technology has been developed to interrupt a variety of data-driven fields, including the health sector. However, blockchain refers to the distributed ledger technology, which constitutes an innovation in the information recording and sharing without a trusted third party. In this paper, blockchain and Distributed Ledger-based Improved Biomedical Security system (BDL-IBS) has been proposed to enhance the privacy and data security across healthcare applications. Further, our goal is to make it possible for patients to use the data to support their care and to provide strong consent systems for sharing data among different organizations and applications, since this includes managing and accessing a high amount of medical information, and this technology can maintain data to ensure reliability. Finally, results show that new blockchain-based digital platforms allow for fast, easy, and seamless interactions between data suppliers to enhance privacy and data security, including for patients themselves.

“…Several research have demonstrated how blockchain technology may improve healthcare data exchange and aid in other diagnostic applications (Dinev, Albano, Xu, D'Atri, & Hart, 2016). Example use cases for the Healthcare Data Gateway approach include utilising a private blockchain to track and store individual patients' clinical data (Brunese et al, 2019). The patients in this model of individualised healthcare have complete control over their own private blockchain containing their health records and summary information.…”

“…However, another study useda private Ethereum protocolblockchain to ensure not just the privacy but also the reliability of medical sensors, as well as removing the inherent dangers of remote patient monitoring(Al-Muhtadi, Shahzad, Saleem, Jameel, & Orgun, 2019). Their blockchain-based approach can allow for trustworthy real-time remote monitoring, which will help doctors monitor their patients' health from afar and keep accurate records of their care (Brunese et al, 2019).…”

Purpose-Electronic health records (EHRs) have replaced paper medical records due to their convenience, safety, and ability to lessen data duplication. Poor interoperability and unsolved privacy concerns are still difficulties with EHRs, though. Blockchain, a distributed ledger protocol made up of encrypted blocks of data grouped in chains, could be used to address the interoperability and confidentiality issues plaguing EHRs. In this paper, we explain what electronic health records (EHRs) are and how blockchain technology works, and we offer a blockchain-based future that will improve EHR interoperability and privacy. Methodology-There was a total of 424 health care workers from hospitals in the Andhra Pradeshincluded in the study's quantitative analysis, which included descriptive statistics, a t test, and an analysis of variance. Findings-Efficient data management, equitable access, and reliable systems are all topics the study examines. To this aim, we propose the continued need for research in health informatics, data sciences, and ethics in order to implement blockchain-based EHRs. Social implications-Concerns around blockchain's carbon footprint, inequitable access to healthcare, and patient mistrust all need to be addressed in any blockchain-based EHR plan. Originality-With the advent of blockchain technology, the groundwork is being laid for a completely new approach to healthcare. This study contributes to the literature on the use of blockchain technology in future healthcare because there are currently too few case studies examining the intersection of blockchain and contemporary medical practice.

“…The access control of health data is another crucial problem in a centralized structure. The purpose of blockchain can be used to overcome the personal data of patients and the medical data concealed by the third party [13]. In order to ensure protection, privacy and the reliability of patients, blockchain-based healthcare systems provide information to a large degree to monitor their health records [14].…”

A secure, smart and peer-to-peer transactions framework can be developed by Blockchain. Blockchain has enormous potential to turn health care systems as a horizontal technology, which has changed many fields of industry. The aim of this article is to critically review 50 papers published between 2015 and 2020 on blockchain-based health systems. 36 of these were journal papers; 7 were from conferences, 4 were from various symposiums; 3 were from seminars and 1 chapter was written in the book. Three key questions will be answered in this report. Firstly, what are the emerging trends of blockchain application development in healthcare from a technical perspective? Secondly, in what ways will the systematic analysis presented here contribute to a better understanding of the potential for incorporating blockchain-based technologies into the healthcare domain? Third, what are the important challenges in adopting blockchain as a solution in the healthcare domain? The descriptive analysis contains in this article shows the statistical statistics on the strategies of these 50 papers reveal that many of the blockchain systems proposed are using privately held blockchain and Ethereum platforms. We also address possible emerging trends of blockchain application such as blockchain integration with artificial intelligence, cloud based solutions and parallel block chain architecture.
