Abstract

The healthcare sector is evolving daily thanks to fast evolution and rapid advancements. It benefits from novel technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Blockchain. These technologies are causing significant revolutions in various areas of healthcare. This paper addresses the fundamentals and key concepts of AI and Blockchain and focuses on their main applications in healthcare. Then, it presents some research studies that use their integration. This work aims to demystify AI and Blockchain for readers. It will help especially beginning researchers to get started with these technologies and have an overview of their applications in healthcare.
