It is immutable, decentralized, and transparent and has proved to be beneficial across all domains to protect and store data. Maintaining privacy, integrity, and security, blockchain is particularly valuable to the healthcare industry. of healthcare data.
Blockchain in Digital Healthcare provides a panoramic review of prospects of blockchain technology in the healthcare domain.
