Abstract—Data and technology have made it possible to find
solutions to a wide variety of challenges in healthcare. Blockchain
and Machine Learning gives the best solutions together in
performing various tasks in the Smart Health care system. With
these two new emerging technologies, that have materialized in the
last decade. It has been demonstrated that machine learning may
be useful in a variety of fields because of its ability to recognize
patterns in data, perform analyses, and reach choices. To create
appropriate choices, machine learning requires a sufficient
amount of data. Data sharing and data reliability are critical
components of machine learning in order to increase its accuracy.
Blockchain Technology's decentralized database places a
premium on data exchange. Consensus in Blockchain technology
ensures the legitimacy and security of data. Converging these two
technologies can result in highly accurate machine learning results
combined with the security and stability of Blockchain Technology.
In this paper, we will have opportunity to know about Machine
learning integration along with Blockchain in the field of
Healthcare. We proposed secure, transparent and intelligent
methods in the Smart Health care Industry using Machine
learning models and blockchain technology to enhance security
level and train our models to improve diagnostic, prevention,
treatment of the patient, patient rights, patient autonomy and
equality in the health care system.
Keywords—Blockchain technology, machine learning, smart
system, healthcare
I. INTRODUCTION
Frost \& Sullivan expects that during the next five to ten
years, healthcare companies will have access to integrated health
IT platforms based on an emerging collection of information
management technologies, such as blockchain [1], the Internet
of Things (IoT) [2], and machine learning [3]. When it comes to
storing and exchanging health data, privacy is a key problem,
and with current healthcare data storage systems lacking top-tier
security, blockchain could give a solution to vulnerabilities like
hacking and data theft. Interoperability is a feature of blockchain
technology in healthcare that allows for the secure interchange
of medical data among the various systems and employees
involved, resulting in a number of benefits such as improved
communication, time savings, and operational efficiency.
According to the report, due to difficulties such as errors,
duplications, and inaccurate billing, the use of blockchain
technology for claims adjudication and billing management
applications is expected to expand by 66.5 percent by 2025.
With blockchain, all of these issues can be solved.
Machine learning is a computer-based method for analyzing
free-form text or voice using a preset set of theories and
technologies, such as linguistic and statistical methodologies, to
extract rules and patterns from the data. Knowledge and
experience are two very significant variables for physicians in
terms of patient care; yet, humans are limited in terms of gaining
knowledge through accumulating data, whereas machine
learning excels in this area [4].
In this manuscript, we introduce the Blockchain technology
integrated with Machine learning techniques together to enable
the improvements of the security level of patient’s data and
patient’s diagnosis. It also helps the researchers, doctors, and
medical practitioners to evaluate the treatment of patients
through a smart healthcare system.
II. LITERATURE REVIEW
Due to heightened danger of pandemic, the World Health
Organization (WHO) has suggested that countries develop a
"Pandemic Plan." A Pandemic Plan is often designed in
accordance with the WHO's pandemic phases, with the goal of
achieving unambiguous results in pandemic management from
the start [4].
Different techniques to preparing for an emergency may be
recognized in healthcare; in fact, each disaster is divided into
four phases: mitigation, preparation, reaction, and recuperation
[5]. The "tabletop exercise" is a valuable technique for
simulating the creation of a crisis situation; it creates a scenario
that benefits from both communication and cooperation among
various sectors and areas, such as management, workers,
logistics, communication, and finance. A proper method could
give a broad framework as well as a mental model that replicates
the ideal environment for future decision-making [5].
