Abstract
A digital transformation in health care is the positive impact of technology in health care. Wearable fitness technology, telemedicine, and AI-enabled medical devices are concrete examples of digital transformation in health care. And these are supposed to revolutionize the health care industry by improving patient care, streamline operations, and reducing costs but instead, it is facing significant challenges on cybersecurity and privacy of patient data, invoicing and payment processing, medical supply chain, drug integrity. Blockchain technology can absolve the healthcare industry from facing these challenges; it can establish a blockchain of medical records. Blockchain is considered to be a highly secure, transparent, and immune to hackers due to its digital encryption, it also plays a prominent role in reducing the intermediate fees as it is entirely decentralized. This review paper scrutinized the potential of blockchain technology to refine the security, privacy, and interoperability of healthcare data and after the detailed analysis of the current significant challenges in the healthcare sector, we proposed few advanced uses of blockchain in health care domain like Blockchain consortium, Smart contract-based health care intelligent claim processing and prior authorization and Wearable fitness device integration and monitoring health.
