AI and Blockchain: Enhancing Data Security and Patient Privacy in Healthcare Systems

The current development and advancement in health information technology has become very important, particularly regarding data security and patient privacy. This paper aims to discuss the integration of AI and blockchain as two solutions to the challenges discussed above. By utilizing AI, the firm has strong features for data analysis and predictions, whereas blockchain creates trustful and secure systems for data management. This helps create a sound and people-friendly healthcare environment in which patient data are shielded from hackers and other malicious intruders. The paper briefly describes the current state of the art in these technologies, outlines how these can be deployed together, and reports on outcomes from existing applications. Any limitations of this research are also discussed, and suggestions for future studies are given.
