Abstract
This perspective paper explores the synergistic potential of blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI) in transforming healthcare. It begins with an overview of blockchain’s role in healthcare data management, security, the pharmaceutical supply chain, clinical trials, and health insurance. The discussion then shifts to the impact of AI on healthcare, followed by an examination of integrated AI–blockchain platforms and their benefits. Technical challenges, limitations, and solutions related to these technologies are scrutinized. The paper addresses regulatory compliance and ethical considerations, and proposes future directions for their implementation. It concludes with research and implementation guidelines, offering a roadmap for harnessing blockchain and AI to enhance healthcare outcomes.
