Blockchain Application in Healthcare Domain: Industry 5.0 Perspective

Blockchain is an advanced digital technology that has been increasingly used during the past decade to store sensitive information in all small and large businesses that can benefit from incorporating blockchain to increase confidentiality, integrity, security, privacy, and data openness. Modern manufacturing techniques that enable manufacturers to hit their target more quickly are combined to form Industry 5.0. Various manufacturing verticals like smart healthcare, manufacturing plant, smart education, cloud/fog/Edge computing, and supply chain Management (SCM) ecosystems are anticipated to benefit from Industry 5.0. However, trustworthy safe data transfer is necessary to synergistically balance and secure the industrial perimeter since data is shared between extended networks and heterogeneous networks in many authorized sectors. Due to its intrinsic ability to provide immutability, transparency, chronology, and traceability of data, and trust in industrial systems, blockchain (BC) is a preferred choice as security and privacy are key concerns for Industry 5.0 ecosystems. In this article, keeping in mind the need of existing industry, a literature review of some limited different types of security parameters has been done and the journey of the industry has been shown with the healthcare, and blockchain revolution and also discusses the various verticals of Industry 5.0. A comparative study of the blockchain revolution has been done in this article and explains the blockchain's role as a better security facilitator in Industry 5.0 is presented in this article.
