Abstract
Healthcare data are rapidly evolving with the introduction of new modalities and an exponential increase in volume. Current health data storage and communication services face major obstacles in terms of privacy, security, and operational efficiency in the face of this new data landscape. Blockchain technology, characterized by its immutability, auditability, and decentralization, is emerging as a promising solution. However, integrating blockchain into existing systems presents significant challenges, particularly regarding data privacy and scalability. This review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how blockchain technology can transform the biomedical sector, potentially making healthcare data management more secure and efficient.
