Abstract

Rapid development and technological advancement have brought a lot of changes in the health industry. It makes use of a variety of technologies, including the Internet of Things” IoT and “Blockchain”. These innovations are being used in a variety of applications connected to daily healthcare activities. According to the Global Blockchain Study, numerous firms in several areas, including medical, are extending, their Blockchain activities. Even though “blockchain technology” has attracted a lot of attention in the last decade, there are still many barriers to its incorporation with IoT systems[17] and use in the medical industry. Blockchain technology is used to secure healthcare-related information securely to increase cybersecurity in the healthcare sector. A mixed-method (Primary Qualitative and Secondary Quantitative) is used to collect relevant data related to Blockchain technology in Health care.
