“…These hashes make it extremely difficult to reverseengineer the original data from the hash value, thereby protecting the blockchain against tampering by malicious actors. Through a combination of encryption, decentralization, and consensus mechanisms, blockchain offers a promising solution for safeguarding sensitive healthcare data in the increasingly digital healthcare landscape [8].…”

The rapid digitization of healthcare records has led to the accumulation of vast amounts of sensitive patient data, stored across various systems and platforms. To ensure the secure and efficient exchange of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) among healthcare providers, researchers, and patients themselves, the concept of cross-chain interoperability within blockchain technology emerges as a promising solution. Nevertheless, existing blockchain platforms exhibit several limitations. In order to address the issue of non-interoperability, the suggested method involves creating a connection between two similar blockchain networks. This solution is exemplified through the use of an Electronic Health Records (EHR) structure, which is distributed across distinct Ethereum Testnets and implemented via a Solidity Smart Contract. The paper aims to demonstrate the viability of bridging the gap and fostering seamless interoperability between blockchain networks. However, establishing effective communication between these smart contracts proves to be a complex endeavor, whether within a singular blockchain or spanning multiple blockchains. This complexity presents a formidable obstacle, particularly when diverse hospitals require the sharing or exchange of critical information. Consequently, a solution becomes imperative to facilitate cross-chain communication among smart contracts. This solution provides seamless operation both within the confines of a single blockchain and across disparate blockchains. By achieving this, cross-chain interoperability can be realized, enabling distinct blockchain networks to mutually comprehend and actively engage with each other.

“…By understanding suppliers' individual products and capabilities, businesses can better assess supplier reliability and responsiveness. This enables them to outline informed supplier engagements and management policies [11][12][13]. At the same time, an IoT and Blockchain-based supplier management system can pave the way for a more collaborative relationship between the manufacturer and its suppliers.…”

This paper discusses how the combination of Internet of Things (IoT) and Blockchain technology can create a new paradigm for supplier management in manufacturing plants. IoT enables the comprehensive digitalization of an entire manufacturing plant while providing a trove of data about the daily operations and performance of suppliers, machine performances, and other related activities. Blockchain technology provides a distributed ledger technology to store, share, and manage this data with trust and security, ensuring that all stakeholders within the supply chain are accountable and have an immutable record of their activities and performance. The paper discusses the potential opportunities and benefits that this new paradigm promises for manufacturers through improved supplier management, automated processes, reduced costs, and enhanced transparency. It also examines the challenges associated with making this system functional such as legal issues, system integration, and security concerns. Finally, the paper provides an overview of potential uses of this technology and concludes with a discussion of the future prospects of using IoT and Blockchain in supplier management.
