Case studies about smart contracts in healthcare

The Internet of Things (IoT) such as devices and sensors are a fast growth reality which our bureaucratical and archaic institutional system is not yet ready to embrace its functionalities. In the health system, many developments are made, and smart devices are the key to preventing, studying, investigating, and solving a lot of diseases and improving our health system. But along with this, innovation is necessary for the hospitals, for example, to have a proper system that provides storage of health data information and respects the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) with the use of smart contracts that secure the integrity and disclosure of the patient's data, since the majority of hospitals still use paper, physical records to store data. In this study, we will briefly analyse and explain three different suggested methods to deal with the challenges that Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) encounters. We will not choose which one is the best because of the different features and the countries they are proposed but will emphasize the benefits and challenges which one has.
