Leveraging blockchain-based healthcare services with artificial intelligence

Abstract

Challenges in healthcare ecosystems related to data privacy and integrity, security, trust, optimization of processes, the need for more efficient logistics, etc., can be solved by integrating blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. This paper analyses applications of blockchain and artificial intelligence in healthcare, with a focus on defining possible types and examples of integration of these technologies. The development of a model of a healthcare ecosystem based on blockchain and artificial intelligence technologies is presented. The proposed model outlines key healthcare stakeholders and their interactions within a secure, scalable, and efficient framework powered by emerging technologies. The focus is on the patients and the possibility of tracking all their medical data using a decentralized application as a personal healthcare record. The proposed model leverages blockchain to provide secure, transparent, and immutable transactions within a healthcare ecosystem, while AI-driven analytics improve operational efficiency, decision-making, and recommendations for healthcare services. The findings highlight how AI influences various blockchain-based processes, enabling more robust and intelligent ecosystems that support modern healthcare needs. Together, these technologies address critical issues in healthcare, paving the way for innovative, patient-centric solutions and improved healthcare services.
