HEALTHCARE SECURITY WITH BLOCKCHAIN IN INDIA
The literature review examines the blockchain applications in healthcare, it focuses on its capabilities to address the critical challenges faced by traditional data management systems. Blockchain's decentralized, transparent, and immutable nature offers robust solutions for safeguarding sensitive health information, ensuring data integrity, and facilitating secure data exchanges among healthcare providers. The review begins with an exploration of blockchain fundamentals and theoretical perspectives on technology adoption. It then delves into the specific applications of blockchain in healthcare, including data security, patient privacy, interoperability, and the enhancement of trust and transparency. Case studies from various global implementations illustrate the practical benefits and challenges of deploying blockchain in healthcare settings. Despite the promising advantages, the review identifies several challenges and limitations, such as technical scalability issues, regulatory compliance, and adoption barriers. Comparative analyses highlight the superiority of blockchain over traditional systems in terms of security and efficiency. The review concludes with an outlook on future trends and innovations, suggesting that integrating blockchain with emerging technologies like IoT and AI could further enhance healthcare outcomes. This comprehensive examination underscores the transformative potential of blockchain in creating a secured healthcare system while calling for continued research and collaboration to address existing barriers and fully realize its benefits.
