In the recent past, huge range of connected wireless devices emerged thereby dramatically increasing the overall data generated by Internet of Things (IoT) systems. The IoT or Industry 4.0 led digital revolution has not bypassed the healthcare sector making it necessary to switch to sophisticated medical sensors from the already prevalent wearable IoT e-health devices. Due to advancement of precision medicine and rise of genetic research, healthcare systems witnessed a novel approach to disease treatment and prevention that incorporates an individual patient’s lifestyle, surroundings and genetic makeup. Also, recent advances in Information Technology (IT) enabled the development of health data tracking tools, large health information databases and engagement of individuals in their own healthcare. Therefore, integration of IT and healthcare has fostered transformative and revolutionary change in the health IT field. Intelligent medical system or e-health is one of the most widely accepted applications of IoT where the medical data is sensitive and critical to any unauthorized access.
However, the lightweight IoT devices having shallow energy footprints and decentralized topology is incapable of supporting challenges related to healthcare data privacy and security. As the conventional security schemes are inapplicable for such systems, it demands secured, distributed, lightweight and scalable safeguard. Furthermore, the current IoT based healthcare systems are incapable of sharing data between platforms in an efficient manner and holding them securely at the logical and physical level. To this end, blockchain technology guarantees as fully autonomous secure ecosystem by exploiting the combined advantages of smart contracts and global consensus. Healthcare systems can be transformed by enhancing the accuracy of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) and enhancing connection among heterogeneous systems. Blockchain technology supports EHRs management, enables remote patient monitoring and plays a vital role in sharing, storing and retrieving the remotely gathered health data. It promises to answer the data integrity dilemma and facilitates better data level collaboration between providers and payers adopting the principle of securely storing the Electronic Health Records (EHRs). Furthermore, blockchain is useful in pharmaceutical industry to solve the issues related to inadequate medications that might have serious consequences for the patients. It can also benefit in the field of health insurance claims to preserve data auditability, transparency and immutability.
