Description

The Internet of Things (IoT) enables Internet-connected devices to transmit data to private blockchain networks, allowing for the creation of tamper-resistant documents with shareable exchanges. IoT blockchain technology enables you to communicate and connect IoT data with key stakeholders, while avoiding the need for extensive management and control. Each transfer can be checked to ensure there are no disagreements and to build trust in the network. Blockchain technology protects data from being changed, restricts access to Internet-connected devices, and allows vulnerable IoT devices to be shut down. Blockchain encryption eliminates the possibility of someone overwriting existing data records. In addition, storing IoT data on the blockchain adds an extra layer of security, preventing malicious attackers from accessing the system. The many blockchain IoT firms provide significant value in revolutionizing company operations and daily routines. IoT blockchain firms demonstrate the possibility of blockchain and IoT integration. For instance, Helium is a successful blockchain IoT company specializing in securing Internet connections. This chapter presents the vital role of the Internet of Things and blockchain in the healthcare domain. The integration of blockchain technology in the healthcare industry has given us a chance to solve some problems with IoT networks. In recent years, the need for blockchain-enabled IoT transactions has become an essential technology that will change how users share data. A scenario has been developed to enhance this study to analyse the integration, need, and obstacles associated with blockchain-enabled IoT transactions in the healthcare area. As a result, there is also an IoT model designed using devices for hospitals that take into account all of these people and their needs and the office space where they work.
