Abstract

Blockchain and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies are used in many domains, predominantly for electronic -healthcare. Here, IoT devices has the ability to provide real-time sensor data from patients to get processed and analyzed. As a single point of failure, mistrust, data manipulation and tampering, and privacy avoidance may all occur as a result of such a method. Through offering shared computing and storage for IoT data, blockchain can help solve such issues.Maintaining and sharing Medical data is necessary here.If there occurs loss of confidence means it threatens the medical data and loss of integrity creates impact on the life of patient. So, the first objective is to protect the medical records. Also, a central server to the records will pretend the hackers to attack and continuous fetching is difficult.Therefore, combining Blockchain and IoT will be a threat breaker for computerized medical records.
