Abstract

In recent years blockchain technology has shown considerable adaptability as various market sectors require integrating its potential into their operations. Blockchain is well-known for its potential applications in the financial and banking sectors. However, as a distributed technology, blockchain can be a powerful tool for immense daily life applications. Healthcare is one of the significant areas of application, among others, where blockchain makes a strong impact. Nowadays, huge amounts of healthcare data are generated every day from both medical institutions. Hospitals, private hospitals, and individuals. Storage and sharing such a large amount of healthcare data is important while challenging.

Keywords
