Abstract
In this study, we investigate the synergy between the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) and blockchain technology in healthcare for sustainable societies. To address the research goal, a state-of-the-art review on the IoMT and blockchain in healthcare is conducted. The study’s novelty lies in a new approach toward “medical data,” as a potential economic asset for value creation with the help of disruptive technologies. IoMT technology gathers real-time medical data and extracts knowledge in digital healthcare systems. Blockchain technology ensures transparency, privacy, and security in a distributed healthcare ecosystem. Indeed, these two technologies bring greater data connectivity and interoperability, where data is not isolated and underutilized anymore. IoMT-blockchain solutions offer a new paradigm of predictive, integrated, and personalized healthcare services based on medical data for individuals’ vitality and enhanced life expectancy. On a broader scale, healthy people make society more sustainable and resilient, where citizens actively involve in development planning and solving community issues by sharing and monetizing their personal health data. The current research broadens the horizons of researchers and policy-makers through current trends and future research directions.
