Abstract

Originally conceived as a mechanism to enable a trustless cryptocurrency-Bitcoin, blockchain has since unbound itself from its original purpose as an increasing number of industries and stakeholders' eye the technology as an attractive alternative to solve existing business solutions as well as disrupt mature industries. This paper presents a systematic literature review of the blockchain technology, tracking its increase in popularity in relation to similar technologies, such as cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin. The objective of this paper is to identify the current standing of the blockchain technology within the literature while also identifying the major fields of study and areas of application for which blockchain offers a valuable solution. This paper finds that unique features to the blockchain, such as privacy, security, anonymity, decentralization, and immutability, provide valuable benefits to various fields and subjects. This paper also finds that exploring the application of blockchain has only begun with some limited studies in areas, such as the Internet of Things, energy, finance, healthcare, and government, that also stand to benefit disproportionately from its implementation.

  • There is a critical gap in studies explicitly examining barriers to adoption of blockchain by users (patients, doctors, hospital administrators).

    “Second, we explicate a critical gap in studies that explicitly examine the barriers to the adoption of blockchain by users, including beneficiaries (patients), as well as service providers, such as doctors or hospital administrators (Jaoude & Saade, 2019).”

    From Blockchain in healthcare: A systematic literature review, synthesizing framework and future research agenda (2020) · cites this paper as Jaoude & Saade, 2019

    The paper’s “Future Directions for Blockchain Applications” section says little research has examined users’ usability and perceptions of blockchain implementation, supporting a general gap in user-focused research. It does not specifically identify a gap in studies of adoption barriers among patients, doctors, or hospital administrators; its healthcare sections discuss those stakeholders in other contexts.

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.

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.
