The expansion of telehealth services is enabling healthcare
professionals to consult, diagnose, advise or perform tasks remotely,
enabling them to treat more patients in their own homes or consult on
cases on the other side of the world. The security of sensitive user
information is critical to effective and efficient delivery of
healthcare services. Artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain
technology are identified as key drivers of emerging telehealth systems,
enabling efficient delivery of telehealth services to billions of
patients globally. Specifically, AI facilitates the processing and
analysis of complex telehealth data, and blockchain technology offers
decentralised, transparent, traceable, reliable, trustful, and provable
security to telehealth systems.
This edited book reviews security
and privacy issues in traditional telehealth systems and focuses on the
technical considerations, potential opportunities and critical
challenges currently inhibiting the adoption of AI and blockchain in
telehealth systems. The book presents case studies which highlight
critical lessons and considers the prospects and societal benefits of AI
and blockchain, while providing suitable recommendations for designing
future AI and blockchain-based telehealth systems.
Artificial
Intelligence and Blockchain Technology in Modern Telehealth Systems is
suited to researchers and computer engineers working in healthcare
delivery, telemedicine, cybersecurity, data science, AI/ML and those in
related fields.
