Abstract

Blockchain is a rapidly developing modern technology being used in various fields, including IoT-based healthcare, which is widely used nowadays because of its ability to increase the security, robustness, and reliability of distributed systems. Key features such as data immutability, decentralization, transparency, privacy, and distributed ledger are highly necessary to make blockchain an attractive technology. This paper gives a comprehensive survey of the application of IoT based blockchain technology. IoT and blockchain are required to enable real-time information processing and transaction implementation in an orderly manner. Digital data has become important for health services due to the hectic routine of daily life for patients and doctors. This study sheds light on the use of blockchain for IoT-based healthcare.

Keywords
