Securing AI-Based Healthcare Systems Using Blockchain Technology

Abstract

The installation of the blockchain into artificial intelligence (AI)-driven healthcare systems is explored to prevent security breaches and optimize the patient's well-being. The digital revolution in healthcare brings with it substantial challenges related to data security, notably privacy invasions and data compromises, and even shortcomings with data interoperability. These limitations, which are rendered severe by advanced cyberattacks, indicate how inadequate conventional security precautions are and how this sector must move beyond more constantly evolving and predictive security approaches. Integrated Blockchain-AI concerning the healthcare sector is revolutionizing the management of patient data by utilizing an intricate, multifaceted infrastructure extending from data collection to service delivery. This ingenious incorporation represents a crucial breakthrough when it comes to healthcare systems and research as it not only ensures stringent data privacy and compliance but also greatly improves diagnostic, predictive, and individualized healthcare services. Meanwhile, it streamlines supply chain management (SCM) by offering an opaque, traceable system that inhibits the commercialization of counterfeit medicinal products and upholds quality control (QC), sustaining the wellness of patients and making certain legal compliance. The adoption of blockchain platforms to track pharmaceutical lifecycles and AI to personalize healthcare is demonstrated through usage scenarios in drug provenance and secured medical records management. The unified infrastructure must deal with ethical dilemmas and legal concerns including regulatory compliance, intellectual property (IP) protection, and liability formulation, crucial to providing reliable, legally compliant healthcare options. A concerted effort from all stakeholders is required to navigate and optimally utilize the prospective benefits of these advancements, as the healthcare industry looks forward to a subsequent of more secure operations, individualized treatment, and operational efficiency via an amalgamation of AI and blockchain.
