Description

At present, emerging technologies such as big data and Internet of Things (IoT) have
promoted innovation in healthcare around the world. They have contributed to the
construction of smart healthcare systems, providing a better medical service experience.
Smart healthcare is based on the electronic medical and health records of residents, combined
with information technology, such as the Internet of Things, big data, cloud computing,
mobile communications, and artificial intelligence (AI), which can then be used to build a
variety of systems, such as convenient medical service systems and humanised health
management systems. Machine learning and block chain technology are highly regarded
around the world and have impacted a range of industries. Due to the close connection
between healthcare industry and intelligent technology, its integration with blockchain is
essential. The traceability, transparency, security, and decentralisation of machine learning
and blockchain technology will enable the healthcare industry to optimise and upgrade many
aspects, such as customer health management, medical insurance management, customer file
management, and information system management, as well as improving efficiency across
these different applications.

Researchers are beginning to explore the applications of machine learning and blockchain
technology in smart healthcare systems. For example, a health management platform based
on blockchain can allow users to securely track and collect personal data, and smart contracts
can be used in medical identification to automatically handle emergencies. Smart contracts
could also leverage health prevention resources to create locally accessible healthy
community projects. Machine learning and blockchain technology can also be used to
simplify the processing of medical claims and payments, or in the area of hospital
management, to provide more concise, transparent, and secure services in medical data
contribution, medical staff identification, and doctor screening. There are applications for
these technologies across the medical supply chain, such as drug traceback and anti-
counterfeiting of pharmaceutical companies' suppliers, or in the pharmaceutical research and
development sector, such as being used to securely store genetic and medical data through the
use of private keys, and form a DNA wallet, thereby enabling researchers to develop drugs
more efficiently and provide targeted services to patients.

The aim of this Special Issue is to gather research into the latest advancements in the use of
machine learning and blockchain technology in smart healthcare. We welcome both original
research and review articles. This Special Issue looks to gather papers reflecting new
characteristics and laws in healthcare and smart healthcare, but also papers focussing on the
technological aspects of these applications.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

 Frameworks for the sustainable development of smart healthcare, based on

machine learning and blockchain technology
 New characteristics of healthcare supply chains
  The development of new smart healthcare communities and their impact on human
health
 The impact of machine learning and blockchain technology on human health
 The use of machine learning and blockchain technology to solve environmental
issues within the smart healthcare industry
 Combinations of machine learning and blockchain technology with other emerging
technologies such as big data, IoT, and AI
