Abstract

Blockchain and artificial intelligence technologies are novel innovations in healthcare sector. Data on healthcare indices are collected from data published on Web of Sciences and other Google survey from various governing bodies. In this review, we focused on various aspects of blockchain and artificial intelligence and also discussed about integrating both technologies for making a significant difference in healthcare by promoting the implementation of a generalizable analytical technology that can be integrated into a more comprehensive risk management approach. This article has shown the various possibilities of creating reliable artificial intelligence models in e-Health using blockchain, which is an open network for the sharing and authorization of information. Healthcare professionals will have access to the blockchain to display the medical records of the patient, and AI uses a variety of proposed algorithms and decision-making capability, as well as large quantities of data. Thus, by integrating the latest advances of these technologies, the medical system will have improved service efficiency, reduced costs, and democratized healthcare. Blockchain enables the storage of cryptographic records, which AI needs.

Written from the paper’s full text.

TL;DR

This review argues that integrating blockchain with AI can improve e-Health by providing secure, immutable data storage for AI models and enabling decentralized, trustworthy healthcare data sharing. It surveys blockchain use cases and AI applications/tools while noting adoption barriers such as scalability, interoperability, privacy, and latency.

Key findings

  • The review concludes that integrating blockchain and AI can lead to improved service efficiency, reduced costs, and democratized healthcare; blockchain enables storage of cryptographic records that AI needs.
  • Blockchain healthcare use cases discussed include supply chain transparency (MediLedger), smart contracts, patient-centric EHRs (MedRec, MeDShare), medical staff credential verification (ProCredEx), IoT security for remote monitoring, and clinical trial/pharmaceutical tracking.
  • AI tools and applications discussed include Framingham risk score, QRISK3, MELD, ABCD2, Nottingham Prognostic Index, XNAT, Swiss ADME, plus radiology, screening, psychology, primary care, diagnosis, telemedicine, and drug discovery.
  • Reported performance examples include AI breast cancer screening AUC-ROC 11.5% higher than normal radiologists; prostate cancer benign vs cancer AUC 0.997 with 90.14% specificity; lung cancer risk prediction AUC 94.4% in 6,716 NLST cases and 95.5% in 1,139 validation cases; and CNN detection of 95% of skin cancers vs 86.6% for human dermatologists.

Methods

  • Narrative review; data on healthcare indices were collected from Web of Sciences and other Google survey from various governing bodies.
  • The paper focuses on aspects of blockchain and AI and on integrating both technologies for healthcare, including tables on blockchain adoption challenges, AI tools, AI in cancers, AI drug-discovery tools, and blockchain-AI integration benefits.
  • No primary experimental design, sample, or statistical analysis is reported; the synthesis is qualitative.

Limitations

  • Paper-stated: blockchain adoption faces scalability, limited interoperability, scarcity of blockchain developers, insufficient standards, high energy consumption, and lack of regulatory certainty; security, privacy, anonymity, and latency are also challenges. AI concerns include centralized data protection, errors, and the need for trust.
  • Paper-stated: blockchain-AI applications are still in early stages, with reservations and a need for more research on technological trust, whether rival companies would share data, remuneration, and ethical considerations.
  • Evident from the text: as a narrative review, it does not report a systematic search strategy, inclusion/exclusion criteria, or quality appraisal, and many claims rely on cited secondary sources rather than primary data.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Claims read by deepseek-v4.1-flash under definition version 3 (extract-v3) on 2026-10-09.

Classified by jev-1.13-20260917 (gold-guideline-v0.2) on 2026-10-09.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
