Abstract

Blockchain and related technologies are getting more popular day by day and their importance is increasing rapidly. Even though blockchain is originally used as a mainstay for cryptocurrencies, its area of usage has yet to be extended far beyond them.

Blockchain technology has succeeded in penetrating various fields such as industries, banking, politics, healthcare etc. This study generally aims to focus on blockchain applications in healthcare. More specifically, blockchain-related works and applications, challenges, opportunities, solutions and future direction will be discussed.
