Title:
Role of Blockchain Technology in Healthcare 5.0: Security and Privacy Perspective
Abstract:
In this talk, I will talk about the blockchain approaches used to design EHR systems, focusing only on the security and privacy aspects. I will also highlight the relevant background knowledge relating to both EHR systems and blockchain, prior to discussing the (potential) applications of blockchain in EHR systems. Finally, identify a number of research challenges and opportunities for the audience to kick start their work.
