Abstract
The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) through network technology provides smart medical devices, equipment, and software to connect different patients and users with medical information. Integrating Blockchain technology into IoMT-based healthcare IoT solutions increases security and privacy. Blockchain’s decentralized architecture ensures data integrity, confidentiality, and traceability of patient information throughout its entire lifecycle. It solves deficiencies in data storage, transmission, and computation in the IoT ecosystem by using encryption technology and smart contracts. This integration provides real-world benefits such as creating tamper-proof documents and building trust between patients and doctors. The research helps improve the security of healthcare systems and highlights the important role of Blockchain in protecting sensitive medical data in the IoT environment.
