Abstract

With a secure distributed ledger system, blockchain technology helps to shape the healthcare sector in terms of transparency and accountability. This research paper highlights the transformational impact that blockchain technology plays in the healthcare sector. It focuses on a variety of technologies, including patient data security, real-time monitoring enabled Internet of Things (IoTs). This paper also addresses the revolutionary impact that current technology, such as cryptography and Zero Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs), has played in shaping modern technology and improving privacy and security in the health care system. This study contrasts existing blockchain technologies with emergent developments that aid in the creation of a decentralized, safe ecosystem that promotes accountability. Blockchain provides a decentralized, immutable, and transparent ledger. It enhances security, privacy, and trust in data transactions without relying on centralized servers.
