Tatapudi Vasista, Rimjhim Padam Singh, Priyanka D. Kumar · 2023
Blockchain technology, a decentralized database, has emerged as a groundbreaking solution for various industries, including healthcare. In the field of healthcare, challenges such as fragmented medical histories and inaccurate data pose significant risks to patient care. Blockchain technology has potential to revolutionize the efficiency and quality of healthcare services. Managing the vast amount of healthcare data securely and ensuring data integrity are paramount concerns. Blockchain technology offers robust authentication, fine-grained authorization, and secure access to individual patient records. Furthermore, it has the potential to substantially reduce costs, optimize resource allocation, and propel healthcare advancements through cutting-edge cryptographic techniques. This paper presents a novel architecture that ingeniously combines blockchain technology and machine learning to enhance healthcare efficiency. The proposed architecture boldly addresses challenges related to data integration, seamless interoperability, and advanced predictive analytics, with the ultimate goal of improving patient outcomes and enabling more informed decision-making. By seamlessly integrating powerful machine learning algorithms into the blockchain framework, intelligent data analysis and sophisticated predictive modeling become feasible, empowering personalized treatment plans and proactive healthcare interventions. This paper provides a comprehensive exposition of the proposed architecture, underscoring its potentially transformative impact on healthcare delivery and outcomes.
