Abstract: The healthcare industry is using the Internet of Things (IoT), big data, artificial intelligence, wearable devices, cloud computing, edge computing, and other technologies to improve medical care, fulfil individual needs, and manage modern medicine. Smart healthcare has obstacles from unknown development targets, data integration, and the lack of uniform medical institution standards across areas, which wastes resources. Lack of popular understanding about smart healthcare has led to two major privacy issues: a knowledge deficit about how patient data is affected by smart healthcare 4.0 ecosystem policies and regulations, and hackers and their actions that pose a significant threat to public safety. This research will propose unified tech regulation criteria to ensure digital integrity and barrier-free information flow, utilising blockchain technology to counteract technological hazards and ensure data security and balanced information transmission. This will secure a smart healthcare 4.0 environment with sociolegal privacy concerns.
