From the Back Cover

The use of Fifth Generation (5G) cellular networks in the healthcare sector has grown at an exponential rate over the past few years. Today, the majority of 5G healthcare systems are built using centralized client-servers, cloud servers, strong databases, and the Internet. Large numbers of applications are therefore using 5G healthcare solutions for better service, including large image file transfers, virtual visits with doctors, AR for staff education and training, claims and billing management, reliable and real-time remote monitoring, securing medical research data, securing patient data, ensuring the drug supply chain, facilitating medical data acquisition, and allowing doctors to prescribe earlier interventions and improve patient outcomes. To secure these 5G healthcare networks, many new blockchain solutions are available, including decentralized systems and applications.

Blockchain Applications for Healthcare Informatics: Beyond 5G offers a comprehensive survey of 5G-enabled technology which serves as the backbone for blockchain-based healthcare applications. This book investigates the latest research in blockchain technologies and seeks to answer some of the practical and methodological questions in the journey to maintain privacy and security in the healthcare sector: How can reliable and real-time remote monitoring be achieved? How can hospitals and healthcare systems optimize their infrastructures and workflows to make the most of 5G use cases? Chapters explore the most promising aspects of 5G for healthcare industries, as well as how 5G technology can help hospitals and healthcare systems do better. Chapters investigate the detailed framework needed to maintain security and privacy in 5G healthcare services using blockchain technologies, as well as comparative case studies looking at the various performance evaluation metrics, such as privacy preservation, scalability, and healthcare legislation.
