Abstract

Blockchain is the cutting-edge technology that everyone is raving about, and it might completely change how we manage data in our systems. It aids in the development of decentralized and distributed systems and exhibits significant distinctions from conventional databases. We can create systems that prevent a single authority from controlling all the data. There has been ongoing research into the possibilities of its use for other non-financial applications, ever since Bitcoin introduced the Blockchain. One of the key sectors involving Blockchain is the healthcare sector. Various healthcare associations along with the doctors at various hospitals use blockchain applications for the exchanging and storing of patients' data. Blockchain applications have the ability to identify severe mistakes, some of which could be dangerous, within the medical field. Since the use of blockchain technology in healthcare, various aspects of sharing medical data such as transparency, performance, and most important of all security have been improved at an exponential level. It is a technological tool that contributes to the improvement of medical record analysis for medical institutions. The present study examines how blockchain can be applied to healthcare. Additionally, the field is experiencing rapid research growth. Various applications such as managing electronic medical records, remote or you can say virtual patient monitoring and drug supply management over all the health care departments, hospitals, pharmacy firms, etc. can be well managed and implemented using this growing technology. This paper covers a few unresolved problems and various functionalities that show potential. It also examines various methodologies under the study's constraints.
