Abstract
A technology that can guarantee to help improve potency and security within the healthcare industry is blockchain. The term ‘blockchain' denotes a shared changeless record, of a sequence of transactions, each comprising one block, with the blocks being controlled along by cryptological keys. Within the simplest terms, blockchain is going to be represented as a data structure that holds transactional records and guarantees security, transparency, and decentralization. It has the potential to rework healthcare, putting the patient at the center of the healthcare system and increasing the protection, privacy, and ability of health information. Due to the reasons that are mentioned above, blockchain has gained a lot of attention from several sectors such as government, energy, finance, health, etc. This chapter attempts to provide a deeper insight by discovering the scope of blockchain in healthcare and identifying the challenges of blockchain technology in the healthcare industry.
