Abstract
The paradigm of Internet-of-Things (IoT) is flooring the way of daily-life activities which are interconnected as well as interact with their environment in order to collect information and automate certain tasks. Therefore, the seamless authentication, data privacy, security, robustness against attacks, easy deployment, and self-maintenance among other things are the potential parameters of the systems which can be fetched by blockchain technology. This chapter systematically presents the adaption of blockchain technology to fulfil the specific demands of IoT in order to develop Blockchain-integrated IoT (BIoT) for medical applications/e-healthcare. With the discussion of basics of blockchain technology, the most relevant BIoT applications such as e-healthcare has been explored and its impact over traditional cloud-centred IoT applications is presented. Moreover, the present potential challenges and possible optimizations are detailed regarding several aspects that affect the design, development, and deployment of a BIoT application. Finally, the potential recommendations are numbered to guide the researchers/developers on the issues which will have to be commenced before deploying the next generation of BIoT applications.
