The adoption of Blockchain technology in the medical sector has started gaining popularity because it mitigates crucial security, privacy, and interoperability challenges. Moreover, the massive volume of data produced and exchanged via electronic health records has raised various issues concerning data ownership. It is challenging to trace ownership information and medical history because these records are scattered among numerous medical institutions, and individuals have no control over their data, thus jeopardising the privacy and record archiving. Therefore, we created and put into practice a solution based on blockchain, IoT, and AI. The developed system can improve healthcare management by building a patient-centric model and increasing the privacy and interoperability of medical data. Along with solving the preceding issues, we have also incorporated machine learning features to monitor and predict the risk of arrhythmia and heart diseases respectively.
