“…Currently, ethernet and hyper ledger fabric are the most popular frameworks. Hasavari et al [ 16 ] showed that hyper ledger fabric is the most effective frame structure combined with medical treatment at present. One solution to the problem regarding the combination of blockchain and medical treatment is to replace patient care reports with electronic health records (EHRs) so that they can interoperate with other EHRs.…”

Background As a distributed technology, blockchain has attracted increasing attention from stakeholders in the medical industry. Although previous studies have analyzed blockchain applications from the perspectives of technology, business, or patient care, few studies have focused on actual use-case scenarios of blockchain in health care. In particular, the outbreak of COVID-19 has led to some new ideas for the application of blockchain in medical practice. Objective This paper aims to provide a systematic review of the current and projected uses of blockchain technology in health care, as well as directions for future research. In addition to the framework structure of blockchain and application scenarios, its integration with other emerging technologies in health care is discussed. Methods We searched databases such as PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, IEEE, and Springer using a combination of terms related to blockchain and health care. Potentially relevant papers were then compared to determine their relevance and reviewed independently for inclusion. Through a literature review, we summarize the key medical scenarios using blockchain technology. Results We found a total of 1647 relevant studies, 60 of which were unique studies that were included in this review. These studies report a variety of uses for blockchain and their emphasis differs. According to the different technical characteristics and application scenarios of blockchain, we summarize some medical scenarios closely related to blockchain from the perspective of technical classification. Moreover, potential challenges are mentioned, including the confidentiality of privacy, the efficiency of the system, security issues, and regulatory policy. Conclusions Blockchain technology can improve health care services in a decentralized, tamper-proof, transparent, and secure manner. With the development of this technology and its integration with other emerging technologies, blockchain has the potential to offer long-term benefits. Not only can it be a mechanism to secure electronic health records, but blockchain also provides a powerful tool that can empower users to control their own health data, enabling a foolproof health data history and establishing medical responsibility.

“…Blockchain has been described as a concept that guarantees suitability, immutability, and nonrepudiation (Sivaram et al, 2020). Thus, it is a technology that focuses on streamlining the proper flow of information for use (Hasavari & Song, 2019) and is posted to it as an unchangeable truth (Schuetz & Venkatesh, 2020). In the influential work available in 2008, Bitcoin: a peer-to-peer electronic money arrangement, Satoshi Nakamoto defines blockchain technology's support (Smith & Dhillon, 2017).…”

“…It will maintain unmodifiable and incessantly growing information records. The dealings are a fundamental concept in Blockchain, unique information wherever transactions are often value-added but not deleted, and the operations area unit is recorded as transactions (Hasavari & Song, 2019). The stored data could be payment history, e.g., Bitcoin, a contract, or personal information (Dorri et al, 2019).…”

“…However, the most noticeable distinction between blockchain technology and traditional digital technologies is that blockchain technology has a distributed structure peer-to-peer nature and was meant to facilitate data immutability across multiple decentralised nodes (Smetanin et al, 2020). It is a computer system that incorporates an encryption algorithm, a peer-to-peer network, distributed storage, a consensus method, and smart contracts (Hasavari & Song, 2019). Nevertheless, everybody in the system has a complete record of transactions rather than one entity managing all data in a centralised manner .…”

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to review blockchain technology and to demonstrate how this technology is related to the real estate market using multiple regression methodology Design/ Method/ Approach: Approach: Our approach to this work is first, review the blockchain technology, which includes its history, second review the limited work of Blockchain in the real estate market, its benefits, and drawbacks. Findings: Since this paper is a conceptual approach toward applying blockchain technology in the real estate market, estimation of model parameters, including beta cap and a formula for estimating regression coefficients for multiple linear regression, has been done. Research limitations: The application of blockchain technology in the real estate market is minimal. Therefore, our paper has research limitations because much work is needed in this area of study. Practical implications: This reviewed work of ours will have practical implications on the real estate market regarding blockchain technology since works related to applying this technology in the real estate market are limited.

Blockchain is a new emerging technology of distributed databases, which guarantees the integrity, security and incorruptibility of data by means of the cryptography. Such features are suitable for secure and reliable data storage. This chapter investigates the blockchain-based architecture with applications to medical health record or biofeedback information management. This framework employs the smart contract to establish a medical record management system to ensure the privacy of patients. Moreover, the blockchain technique accelerates the medical record or information exchange such that the cost of human resource is significant reduced. All patients can manage their individual medical records and information easily in the different hospitals and clinics. They also have the privilege to deal with and authorize personal medical records in the proposed management framework.
