secure currency that can be used as a medium of exchange worldwide. Blockchain
itself is a decentralised, peer-to-peer distributed ledger capable of storing all
transactions that take place on the network. This property makes blockchain useful for
any type of exchange, such as data, currency and information. Blockchain protects
against potential data theft or corruption in the healthcare network. It is important to
maintain the integrity and validity of patient records to ensure wellness. Artificial
intelligence and blockchain will provide a smart healthcare system for people around
the world by extracting useful information, protecting medical data, simplifying claims
processing, using patient self-generated data and systematising procedures.
