5 Conclusion
With the strict and severe requirements of security in the healthcare domain, several researches focused on adopting Blockchain in the Internet of Medical Things
(IoMT). Majority of them were focusing on providing privacy, data integrity,
confidentiality and authentication. They proposed different use cases including remote monitoring of patients (RMP) and medical data management. Our
research review shows that the proposed solutions lack many technical details
when integrating Blockchain in the IoMT. Majority of them did not deal with
high volume of data streams generated by resource-constrained IoMT devices
and did not propose technical modifications on the Blockchain architecture in
order to feet these challenges.
