Blockchain enabled secured, smart healthcare system for smart cities: a systematic review on architecture, technology, and service management

Abstract

Recently, the spotlight has been cast on smart healthcare by many researchers to provide better facilities to patients. Improved services, such as reducing health hazards, monitoring patient health, tracking disease trends, and enhancing service quality, can be offered by smart healthcare. Despite its numerous potential benefits, smart healthcare is associated with some security challenges. These challenges can be mitigated by utilizing blockchain technology, which is characterized by decentralization, cryptography, consensus mechanisms, transparency and accountability, smart contracts, ownership of data, immutability, and distributed ledger. Therefore, the latest blockchain technology is focused in this article to address the security challenges of smart healthcare. In this article, attention is given to smart healthcare, smart cities for smart healthcare, smart and secure healthcare, and cutting-edge technologies for smart cities and smart healthcare.Please provide author biography and photo.
