Abstract

This article presents an in-depth study of the legal landscape surrounding blockchain technology in the healthcare sector, with a special focus on case studies from European countries. Analyzing the existing legal framework and regulations, the research highlights the challenges and opportunities associated with the adoption of blockchain in healthcare. The most important research areas are data protection, security, consent, liability, and compliance. Through a comparative analysis of various European countries, the article illuminates the differences in legal approaches and points out possible areas of harmonization. The results clarify the legal aspects that must be addressed to ensure the integration of blockchain technology into healthcare systems, innovation while protecting patients' rights, and compliance with regulatory requirements.
