Abstract
The distributed ledger technology in the healthcare sector has been reported
to be very important in generating patient information for research, medication
adherence, management of several bedside information about patients, pharmaceutical
supply chain, and quality of care. Its application has been documented in the
biomedical domain and blockchain technology such as custom, IOTA, NEM, Gcoin,
JUICE, TenderMint, Multichain, Hyperledger Fabric, Ethereum, Bitcoin, as well as in
data integrity, data auditing, data provenance, data versioning, access control and non-repudiation. Therefore, this chapter will give an overview based on the applications of
Blockchain distributed ledger technologies for biomedical and healthcare systems.
