“…In addition, blockchain technology can also assist in decision-making. Gul et al [ 22 ] proposed an intelligent medical business model based on blockchain, which is customer-centered business. On the other hand, blockchain technology is applied in the drug supply chain management, supply chain involves a certain degree of stakeholders, and one of the biggest challenges associated with the supply chain is temperature monitoring and preventing fake drugs.…”

The emergence of machine learning (ML) and blockchain (BC) technology has greatly enriched the functions and services of healthcare, giving birth to the new field of “smart healthcare.” This study aims to review the application of ML and BC technology in the smart medical industry by Web of Science (WOS) using bibliometric visualization. Through our research, we identify the countries with the greatest output, the major research subjects, funding funds, and the research hotspots in this field. We also find out the key themes and future research areas in application of ML and BC technology in healthcare area. We reveal the different aspects of research under the two technologies and how they relate to each other around five themes.

“…[93,94], some of the problems related to smart city transportation were debated. These works demonstrated that there are concerns in rethinking the transformations of localities in terms of improvement of public transport and logistics [95,96], water supply [97], green energy [98], environment [99], health [100,101], education [102][103][104][105], and economics [106][107][108][109] by using the blockchain, which offers the possibility to use distributed stored data, and performs transactions without intermediaries between producers and beneficiaries [106,109] without data security problems [107]. The blockchain architecture [93,94] is the one that will strengthen the importance of using smart contracts in the development of transactions between the parties.…”

The conventional electrical grid is undergoing substantial growth for reliable grid operation and for more efficient and sustainable energy use. The traditional grid is now metamorphosing into a smart grid (SG) that incorporates a diverse, heterogeneous blend of operating measures such as smart appliances, meters, and renewable energy resources. With better efficient results and dependability, the SG can be described as a modern electric power grid architecture. The SG is one of the greatest potential advances as a promising solution for the energy crisis. However, it is complex and its decentralization could be of tremendous benefit. Moreover, digitalization and integration of a large number of growing connections make it a target of cyber-attacks. In this sense, blockchain is a promising SG paradigm solution that offers several excellent features. There has been considerable effort put into using blockchains in the smart grid for its decentralization and enhanced cybersecurity; however, it has not been thoroughly studied in both application and architectural perspectives. An in-depth study was conducted on blockchain-enabled SG applications. Blockchain architectures for various applications, such as the synchrophasor applications, electric vehicles, energy management systems, etc., were proposed. The purpose of this article is to provide directions for future research efforts aimed at secure and decentralized SG applications using blockchain.

Purpose Blockchain is widely applied in e-voting, shared economy areas and other government functioning. Fragmented findings and distributed literature need consolidation for a holistic view of the research domain. The purpose of this study is to comprehensively reviews the blockchain applications for government organizations and presents the past, present and future trends of blockchain applications for government organizations. Design/methodology/approach Systematic review protocol instrumentalized the systematic review of research articles published from 2013 to 2021. Science mapping discerns scientific actors’ trends and performance analysis like most influential authors, documents and sources. Content analysis of selected data set unfolds the past, present and future of blockchain applications for government organizations. Findings Blockchain technology offers enormous potential for the transformation of government organizations and public services. The primary areas are cryptocurrency, e-voting, shared economy, smart contracts, financial and health services, tourism, logistics and water sustainability. Research limitations/implications This study reviewed only published research in journals and conference proceedings and excluded book reviews, book chapters and editorials from the review set. This study persuades governments and policymakers to invest in blockchain technology for transforming government organizations and public services. Practical implications This study highlights the importance of blockchain in government-controlled public departments, enhancing transparency and efficiency in public life. Social implications Blockchain technology enhances transparency, traceability and accountability of public records. Originality/value This study pioneers in chronologically highlighting the importance of blockchain in government-controlled public departments.
