Abstract

Blockchain technology has emerged as a transformative force in the healthcare sector, and this chapter explores the emerging applications of blockchain technology in the global healthcare system through a series of case studies. The case studies cover a wide range of use cases, such as electronic health records, clinical trials, patient privacy and consent management, pharmaceutical supply chain management, and medical research. The findings underscore the potential of blockchain to revolutionize healthcare by improving data security, enhancing transparency and accountability, enabling patient-centric care, and fostering collaboration among stakeholders. However, challenges such as scalability, privacy concerns, regulatory frameworks, and interoperability need to be addressed for widespread adoption. The chapter concludes with a call for further exploration and adoption of blockchain technology in healthcare to improve patient outcomes.
