A Unified Framework for Building a Resilient Healthcare Ecosystem Using AI, IoT, and Blockchain Technologies
Abstract
The fast implementation of artificial intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT), and distributed digital technologies has transformed modern healthcare, but their combination has frequently revealed the new vulnerabilities instead of making the systems more reliable. With the data-driven decisions becoming more and more influential in the clinical workflows, healthcare infrastructures start experiencing a range of challenges concerning trust, flexibility, and ethical governance under the unpredictable circumstances of operation. This paper presents a resilience-based healthcare model that is unified and includes IoT-driven sensing, confidence-conscious AI inference, and blockchain-driven governance on a closed-loop model. Governance is directly inculcated in the operation decision pathways such that sensing strategies, predictive models and access policies can dynamically adjust to contextual risk and system feedbacks. The paradigm focuses on the coordinated behavior instead of component-optimal behavior.
