- Abstract: Blockchain technology is one of the most contemporary and disruptive
technologies in the world. It has gained considerable attention in numerous
applications such as financial services, cybersecurity applications, Internet
of Things (IoT), network data management. Now its range of applications is
beyond the financial services as the healthcare industry has also adopted
blockchain technology in its various subdomains such as Electronic Health
Records (EHR), medical supply chain management system, genomic market,
neuroscience technology, clinical research, and pharmaceutical medicine.
Blockchain is considered a secure and viable solution for storing and accessing
patients medical records and the patients can diagnosed and treated with safe
and secure data sharing. Blockchain technology will revolutionize the
healthcare systems with personalized, authentic, and secure access to the
clinical data of patients and that data can be used for further health
improvements and clinical researches. In this paper, we conduct a contemporary
research on existing applications and developments in healthcare industry with
the use of blockchain technology. We also discuss some robust applications and
various existing companies that are using blockchain solutions for securing
their data along with some current challenges and future perspectives.
