Abstract
This research explores the application of blockchain technology in securing Electronic Health Records (EHRs) while integrating IoT sensors for real-time patient monitoring. The primary goal is to address critical healthcare industry challenges, including security, privacy, data integrity, and accessibility. Our system focuses on enhancing EHR security and reliability through blockchain's decentralized and tamper-resistant features. Additionally, IoT sensors provide real-time monitoring of vital signs, enabling prompt interventions. This study not only delves into technical aspects but also considers practical implementation in healthcare, contributing to improved data security and patient care.
