Abstract

Se seleccionaron las bases de datos bibliográficas ACM Digital Library, Scopus, IEEE Explore y Web of Science, que sean compatibles con la disciplina de estudio. Entre los principales hallazgos se encuentran diferentes tipos de Blockchain que se aplican de muchas maneras para respaldar positivamente aspectos de las soluciones de atención médica, además, se están estudiando múltiples áreas de la atención médica, por ejemplo, soluciones para la gestión del entrenamiento físico y la nutrición, seguimiento de pacientes, predicción. de futuras enfermedades, aseguramiento de información sensible en salud, manejo de Historia Clínica Electrónica EHR y Registro Personal de Salud PHR, identidad digital farmacéutica, control de grandes poblaciones, Covid-19, entre otros. Por otro lado, se identifican múltiples limitaciones o retos a abordar sobre la tecnología Blockchain en el entorno sanitario, tales como: falta de marcos legales y regulatorios, adopción de estándares a nivel nacional e internacional, tamaño de los datos sanitarios, problemas de interoperabilidad, sus mecanismos de consenso, falta de casos prácticos y experimentos con casos reales, escalabilidad y rendimiento, entre otros.
