Blockchain is rapidly emerging as a key innovation shaping the future of healthcare. From precision medicine to telemedicine, digital health ecosystems increasingly rely on blockchain to ensure data integrity, security, and interoperability.
A newly published review in Blockchain in
Healthcare Today: Platform Approaches Journal (BHTY) examines the role of blockchain in transforming digital health and medical technologies. The study identifies six critical domains where blockchain intersects with emerging healthcare innovations, providing a roadmap for implementation and strategic adoption.
What this study examines
- Blockchain applications in genomics and precision medicine
- Integration with telemedicine and mobile health solutions
- Use with immersive technologies such as augmented and virtual reality
- Deployment
in Internet of Things and Health 5.0 environments
- Synergies with artificial intelligence and big data analytics
- Solutions for global and regional health challenges emphasizing interoperability, transparency, and decentralized care
Rather than providing
raw data, the paper synthesizes literature from Web of Science and Google Scholar to offer a comprehensive framework for understanding how blockchain drives digital health innovation.
Why this work is citable
- Provides a systematic review of blockchain applications across six key domains of digital
health
- Relevant for researchers, healthcare leaders, policymakers, and technology developers
- Highlights practical implications for data security, cross border collaboration, and device data integrity
- Serves as a strategic reference for integrating blockchain with emerging
digital health technologies
