Processing medical data, diagnosing diseases, determining the best possible medical centers or physicians, and recommending the more effective remedies or drugs in the earliest time are the most important challenges to deploy intelligent systems for healthcare purposes. Hence, utilization of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) with Edge Computing (EC) technology will result in a strong network to aggregate the healthcare data more reliably and solve the aforementioned challenges. However, the administration of the millions of individuals with a wide variety of physical or mental disorders is another challenge associated with the use of such Artificial Intelligence-based platforms, especially when it comes to a large number of insurance conditions and companies. Furthermore, although the EC-based platforms can increase the security of the data, there are still vulnerable to face some cyber-attacks. Thus, the privacy of sensitive personal information of patients should be considered. Blockchain is a suitable option to overcome the problems associated with medical documentation and administration of patient’s affairs using smart contracts. An EC-based platform based on blockchain to improve the weaknesses of conventional smart healthcare systems is rendered in this research. The proposed platform takes the advantage of both EC and blockchain in the terms of speed, security, accuracy, and bandwidth. It should be noted that this method could be utilized as a flexible infrastructure for the next generation healthcare systems using any kind of crypto network like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Cardano, etc.
