Healthcare delivery has advanced from in-person doctor visits to remote healthcare monitoring, disease prediction and surgical assistance systems. Digitization of healthcare data over the past decade has brought radical transformations to the healthcare domain. It has facilitated healthcare data to be more open and easily accessible. Only the use of cutting-edge technologies, such as Internet of Healthcare Things (IoHT) systems, has made this breakthrough possible. As patient's data is sensitive, IoHT system affirms reliable and secured data communication and computation. There are different cutting-edge technologies integrated in IoHT systems. These technologies are being used in a wide range of healthcare applications that pertain to daily activities. In this study, we give a thorough analysis and comparison of four modern technologies, namely Blockchain, Cloud Computing, Encryption, and Artificial Intelligence, together with applications in the medical industry. The research intends to evaluate the potential synergistic benefits of integrating multiple technologies to enhance the outcomes in IoHT applications, proposing a framework that suggests affirmative usage of IoHT technologies to cover the gap in the traditional approach. The study also highlights historical and contemporary advancements of these technologies in Africa.

African Journal of Science Technology Innovation and Development

African Journal of Science, Technology, Innovation & Development (AJSTID) is a multidiscipline journal covering economics, science, engineering, and technology, but with the core focus on economics of innovation and development. AJSTID provides an important outlet to research on process and impact of science, technology and innovation at two levels: the narrow objective of achieving industrial growth, and the broader objective of achieving socio-economic development, particularly in Africa and other developing economies.    AJSTID aims to undertake and promote the scientific research in a broader sense. It provides an outlet for research works by scientists, academia, engineers, practitioners, doctoral scholars and post graduate students concerned with the impact of science, technology and innovation process on industrial, economic, and social development. AJSTID brings Publishing to the doorstep of every emerging researcher in Africa and other developing countries.
