Abstract

Advances in digital technologies have influenced the life of a human to a great extent. Among all the innovative digital technologies, blockchain, IoT are the most encouraging ones in the present era. Blockchain is a data-sharing platform which contains an open record that is decentralized. It allows multiple parties to involve in a logical decision-making process, which, however, does not trust each other individually. IoT is a network of networks in which real-time analysis of data takes place. If both these technologies are infused around, they will provide responses to a variety of problems, particularly in terms of health care where real-time monitoring of data has a huge role to play. Interoperability, security, liability are the significant worries of the healthcare industry that can be efficiently addressed by the use of blockchain. The goal of this chapter is to provide a remedy for the healthcare industry by using both blockchain, IoT technology. In this, we are proposing an architecture where IoT devices measures, collects real-time data which then is stored in the blockchain. Also, the various billing, insurance claim concerns could easily be addressed barring all fraudulent activities. In this way, reporting would be instant, data stored would be secured, the system would be transparent.
