Why is it important?
Protecting the privacy and security of medical data is crucial as the healthcare industry increasingly relies on digital systems for storing and sharing information. By using blockchain, we can create more secure and trustworthy systems that give patients control over their own data. Integrating AI helps in processing and analyzing large amounts of data efficiently, leading to better medical diagnoses and treatments while maintaining data integrity and security.
Perspectives
- Patient Empowerment: The proposed solutions emphasize giving patients control over their health data, ensuring that they can manage who has access to their information. - Trust and Transparency: Decentralized systems can build trust among patients, healthcare providers, and researchers by providing transparent and immutable records of data transactions. - Future Integration: The paper also discusses potential future uses of blockchain and AI, such as integrating digital twins and Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) devices, which can further enhance personalized medicine and healthcare outcomes.
