The fusion of artificial intelligence (AI) with the Internet of Things (IoT) marks a significant advancement in enhancing conventional healthcare systems across various domains, such as monitoring vital signs and patient behaviors. IoT sensors collect extensive information, which is then processed by AI platforms for informed decision-making. However, the pivotal challenges of privacy and security loom large, demanding robust protective measures for patient data against unauthorized access.While access control has conventionally been employed to address these concerns, a more effective solution lies in leveraging blockchain technology. Consequently, the integration of IoT-based healthcare monitoring with blockchain emerges as a compelling technological innovation, offering a promising avenue to alleviate security and privacy apprehensions associated with data collection. This chapter introduces an architectural framework designed to gather, store, analyze, facilitate intelligent decision-making, and safeguard data using blockchain technology. The proposed architecture harnesses the computational power derived from the synergy of IoT, blockchain, and artificial intelligence. It represents a versatile solution applicable across a broad spectrum of healthcare optimization initiatives, showcasing the potential to revolutionize and optimize healthcare systems. The purpose of this study is to harness the power of artificial intelligence, IoT, and blockchain technology in making a system capable of enhancing the healthcare system. Further, the study presents an architecture that, if implemented, can help optimize the healthcare systems. An architecture-based approach with AI, IoT, and blockchain techniques will be followed in designing architecture that can solve the integrated issues of data privacy and security that occur in healthcare systems.A systematic architecture will be generated to tackle the healthcare industry problem. Systematic study and architecture will serve as a platform for new research and application development.
