Description

Book Synopsis
Healthcare has become an extremely important and relevant topic in day to day discussions ever since the COVID-19 pandemic has been encountered by the global population. This has led to a renewed focus and attention that researchers from every discipline have put in to realize better strategies for healthcare management in general. This book is an attempt to put to use recent advancements in the field of the Internet of Medical Things often called IoMT, which is an extension of IoT for real-time, data analytics-driven prompt and quality healthcare to global citizens. Security has been always a challenge with pervasive technologies like IoMT and IoT, and thus usage of disruptive technology like blockchain to offset the security concerns that surround the data and network management. Therefore, this book is an honest attempt to provide directions to applied areas of research in IoMT for healthcare with the aid and help of Blockchain Technologies.
