Blockchain technology is being used in the healthcare industry to create fair agreements. In the medical industry, a blockchain network is utilized to protect patient data that is acquired from pharmacies, doctors' offices, hospitals, and diagnostic facilities. Blockchain-based applications have the capability to detect and alert users to absurd or potentially dangerous mistakes in the medical domain. Blockchain technology can solve several issues with data management, interoperability, security, and transparency, which could result in major advancements in the healthcare sector. Blockchain technology could improve healthcare systems' efficiency, security, and transparency to overcome issues with conventional health data management systems. This could ultimately result in better patient outcomes. It's crucial to remember that interoperability, privacy, and regulatory concerns must all be carefully considered before implementing blockchain in the healthcare industry. To curb drug fraud and provide patients greater control over their information, the authors of this paper examine current trends and highlight the potential benefits of blockchain technology in the healthcare sector.

“…A health care blockchain will likely encourage the development of a new breed of "smart" health care provider apps that would circumvent the latest medical research and develop customized treatment pathways [71,72]. The health care provider and patient would have access to the same information and could be involved in a cooperative, educated discussion of research-based treatment options rather than intuition-based best case [73,74].…”

Blockchain is evolving to be a secure and reliable platform for secure data sharing in application areas such as the financial sector, supply chain management, food industry, energy sector, internet of things and healthcare. In this paper, we review existing literature and applications available for the healthcare system using blockchain technology. Besides, this work also proposes multiple workflows involved in the healthcare ecosystem using blockchain technology for better data management. Different medical workflows have been designed and implemented using the ethereum blockchain platform which involves complex medical procedures like surgery and clinical trials. This also includes accessing and managing a large amount of medical data. Within the implementation of the workflows of the medical smart contract system for healthcare management, the associated cost has been estimated for this system in terms of a feasibility study which has been comprehensively presented in this paper. This work would facilitate multiple stakeholders who are involved within the medical system to deliver better healthcare services and optimize cost.

“…Beyond the scope of cryptocurrencies, numerous applications of blockchain technology exist which have far-reaching implications across a multitude of industries [46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55] and thus also impact smart-city development [56]. The dynamics of the development is further enhanced by the combination of blockchain together with Artificial Intelligence (AI) [57], the Internet of Things (IoT) [58], 5G and architectures that allow for the remote processing of data, frequently labeled as cloud, fog and edge computing [59,60].…”

The term “Smart City” denotes a comprehensive concept to alleviate pending problems of modern urban areas which have developed into an important work field for practitioners and scholars alike. However, the question remains as to how cities can become “smart”. The application of information technology is generally considered a key driver in the “smartization” of cities. Detailed frameworks and procedures are therefore needed to guide, operationalize, and measure the implementation process as well as the impact of the respective technologies. In this paper, we discuss blockchain technology, a novel driver of technological transformation that comprises a multitude of underlying technologies and protocols, and its potential impact on smart cities. We specifically address the question of how blockchain technology may benefit the development of urban areas. Based on a comprehensive literature review, we present a framework and research propositions. We identify nine application fields of blockchain technology in the smartization of cities: (1) healthcare, (2) logistics and supply chains, (3) mobility, (4) energy, (5) administration and services, (6) e-voting, (7) factory, (8) home and (9) education. We discuss current developments in these fields, illustrate how they are affected by blockchain technology and derive propositions to guide future research endeavors.
