Abstract

The growing demand for Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) sensors within the healthcare sector has emphasized the necessity for robust security measures. However, these devices, often constrained by limited resources, frequently require external assistance to guarantee the security of data. Blockchain technology emerges as a practical solution, offering a way to enhance system security and safeguard patients' sensitive health records against unauthorized access and data breaches. The fusion of IoMT and blockchain presents a range of benefits, such as cost reduction, improved speed, automation, and the guarantee of unmodifiable data. Nevertheless, security concerns persist, particularly in light of the ever-evolving encryption techniques. The effective implementation of IoMT hinges on the delivery of personalized, patient-centered care, which has the potential to enhance affordability, simplicity, and overall convenience, ultimately contributing to improved quality of life and extended lifespans. In this comprehensive exploration, we delve into the historical context, architecture, components, and challenges associated with IoMT. Additionally, we conduct an in-depth examination of blockchain technology, covering its essential elements and categories, as well as its seamless integration into IoMT, underscoring its critical role in reinforcing security measures within the healthcare domain. Furthermore, this paper outlines recent developments in blockchain technology within the IoMT framework, highlighting its ongoing evolution and sustained significance in the healthcare field.
