“…Table 7 shows that studies in [42]- [48], focus on BC-based IAM for MIoT devices, while other studies [49]- [65], include IAM in BC-based solutions for different HIoT applications. Studies in, [47], [48], [63], [64], proposed AuthN solutions, while studies in [42], [43], [50], [54], [55], [58], [59], [65] proposed AuthZ solutions. The rest of the studies [44]- [46], [49], [51]- [53], [56], [57], [60]- [62] covered both AuthN and AuthZ solutions.…”

“…Not all BC technologies can satisfy non-financial applications, as cryptocurrency is still the core substance of the majority of BC technologies, except the few as shown in Table8. The results showed that the most used BC technology is Ethereum [42]- [44], [47], [48], [51], [52], [55], [58], [59], [63]- [65], which is a cryptocurrencybased permissionless peer-to-peer network, followed by Hyperleger Fabric [46], [49], [50], [53], [54], [56], [57], [60]- [62], which is a permissioned BC technology. In permissioned BCs, only chosen and known participants can access data, whereas in permissionless BCs, all participants in the network can access data.…”

Identity and Access Management (IAM) systems are crucial for any information system, such as healthcare information systems. Health IoT (HIoT) applications are targeted by attackers due to the highvolume and sensitivity of health data. Thus, IAM systems for HIoT need to be built with high standards and based on reliable frameworks. Blockchain (BC) is an emerging technology widely used for developing decentralized IAM solutions. Although, the integration of BC in HIoT for proposing IAM solutions has gained recent attention, BC is an evolving technology and needs to be studied carefully before using it for IAM solutions in HIoT applications. A systematic literature review was conducted on the BC-based IAM systems in HIoT applications to investigate the security aspect. Twenty-four studies that satisfied the inclusion criteria and passed the quality assessment were included in this review. We studied BC-based solutions in HIoT applications to explore the IAM system architecture, security requirements and threats. We summarized the main components and technologies in typical BC-based IAM systems and the layered architecture of the BC-based IAM system in HIoT. Accordingly, the security threats and requirements were summarized. Our systematic review shows that there is a lack of a comprehensive security framework, risk assessments, and security and functional performance evaluation metrics in BC-based IAM in HIoT applications.INDEX TERMS access control, Blockchain, e-Health, health IoT, identity management, security, systematic literature review.

<div><b>Objectives: </b>Telehealth and telemedicine systems aim to deliver remote healthcare services to mitigate the spread of COVID‐19. Also, they can help to manage scarce healthcare resources to control the massive burden of COVID-19 patients in hospitals. However, a large portion of today's telehealth and telemedicine systems are centralized and fall short of providing necessary information security and privacy, operational transparency, health records immutability, and traceability to detect frauds related to patients' insurance claims and physician credentials.</div><div><b>Methods: </b>The current study has explored the potential opportunities and adaptability challenges for blockchain technology in telehealth and telemedicine sector. It has explored the key role that blockchain technology can play to provide necessary information security and privacy, operational transparency, health records immutability, and traceability to detect frauds related to patients' insurance claims and physician credentials.</div><div><b>Results: </b>Blockchain technology can improve telehealth and telemedicine services by offering remote healthcare services in a manner that is decentralized, tamper-proof, transparent, traceable, reliable, trustful, and secure. It enables health professionals to accurately identify frauds related to physician educational credentials and medical testing kits commonly used for home-based diagnosis.</div><div><b>Conclusions: </b>Wide deployment of blockchain in telehealth and telemedicine technology is still in its infancy. Several challenges and research problems need to be resolved to enable the widespread adoption of blockchain technology in telehealth and telemedicine systems.</div><div> </div><div><br></div>
