About This Document

Sara Ait Bennacer, Khadija Sabiri, Abdessadek Aaroud, Khalid Akodadi, and Bouchaib Cherradi survey publications from 2016 through 2022 across five research databases. They organize healthcare blockchain work around electronic records, data sharing, access control, privacy, security, multi-party coordination, and clinical or diagnostic applications, then summarize benefits and unresolved challenges.

Why Bitcoin People May Care

This is not a Bitcoin paper. Healthcare ledgers usually operate with identified institutions, sensitive personal data, permission rules, and legal deletion or access obligations unlike Bitcoin's public monetary ledger. The survey is useful for testing broad blockchain promises against domain-specific constraints. It is a literature review through the authors' search period, not medical advice or proof that any surveyed system is production-ready.
