New technologies like blockchain and Internet of Things (IoT) are constantly improving the state-of-the-art in healthcare services. The trend of keeping medical records in digital formats is also increasing the reliance of modern healthcare service providers on these new technologies. This edited book brings a collection of reviews on blockchain and IoT technologies that are driving innovation in digital and smart healthcare systems. The editors bring an academic and practical approach to assist professionals and readers in understanding computerized healthcare solutions. 16 referenced chapters provide knowledge about fundamental framework, research insights, and empirical evidence for effective smart healthcare applications. The chapters also cover benefits and challenges of specific smart health frameworks, giving an informative overview of the subject.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of wireless systems that are connected to one another and networked digital devices like sensors and internet devices that can collect, send, and store data without the assistance of a human or computer. The Internet of Things (IoT) promises a number of benefits for streamlining and enhancing the delivery of healthcare, including the capacity to diagnose, treat, and monitor patients both within and outside of hospitals. There are more such advantages of using IoT like remote monitoring, medical data accessibility, improved treatment management, and instant and reliable treatment.
Most of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) and healthcare technologies have strong relevance to the healthcare field. Artificial intelligence in healthcare combines Computer Science and robust datasets to enable problem-solving related to health, such as patient care, diagnosing patients, end-to-end drug discovery and development, improving communication between physicians and patients, transcribing medical credentials, such as prescriptions, and remotely treating patients, administrative processes and helping them improve upon existing solutions and overcome challenges faster. It also encompasses sub-fields of Machine Learning and Deep Learning, speech recognition, computer vision, and natural language processing which are frequently mentioned in conjunction with Artificial Intelligence to create expert systems that make predictions or classifications based on input data. These learning algorithms evolve and become more accurate, they are likely to significantly impact healthcare services to identify diseases through diagnostic approaches, treatments, and care processes, and help develop more efficient and precise interventions.
The blockchain security architecture assures that electronic health records between two organisations are confidential, authentic, legitimate, interoperable, and accountable. A blockchain-based approach to address the issues of data management, exchange, and storage, real-time patient monitoring at remote locations, monitoring of smart IoT devices, and faster and more seamless data transfer of patient medical records are just a few benefits that will come with the adoption of blockchain-based smart healthcare. Blockchain technology is a pervasive technology utilised in many industries, including banking, finance, supply chain management, and healthcare. The IoT and blockchain appear to be the ideal combination, as there is a great demand for data security given the volume of data generated by IoT sensors. A blockchain-enabled IoT-based smart health care is also an advancement because it can lessen the burden on healthcare systems and avoidable hospital visits by connecting patients with their health care providers and enabling the safe transfer and storage of medical data through the use of the blockchain mechanism.
Key themes of the book include:
1. Technological Foundations for Smart Healthcare
2. Blockchain Applications in Healthcare
3. Internet of Things (IoT) in Healthcare
4. Artificial Intelligence (AI) Integration
5. Security, Privacy, and Authentication
