Medical sensor networks have transformed patient monitoring and treatment approaches in the ever-changing healthcare industry. However, strong systems for safe and effective data sharing are necessary to fully use sensor data. Conventional methods of exchanging data in healthcare are frequently rife with security flaws, such as the potential for data tampering and privacy violations. Blockchain technology offers decentralized, irreversible, and transparent data sharing and storage capabilities and offers a promising solution to these problems. The potential for safe data sharing offered by Blockchain technology to revolutionize healthcare delivery is examined in this review paper, which examines the convergence of medical sensor networks and Blockchain technology. This paper explores the various Blockchain implementation architectures, approaches, and case studies in healthcare contexts by thoroughly examining current literature. This paper also discusses the prospects, difficulties, and future directions in this emerging subject, emphasizing the effects on interoperability, patient care, and data security. By explaining the revolutionary possibilities of secure data sharing in medical sensor networks afforded by Blockchain technology, the current study hopes to stimulate additional investigation and creativity in the quest for safer and more effective healthcare systems.
